Microsofts losses are abysmol. They have gone from very bad to doing well (barring that 1 billion for RROD)

Sony on the other hand, it's sad to see how next quater the playstation division will be unprofitable, all that hard work from the PS1 and PS2 days and for what?

Nintendo .. well what can I say?

 

Edit - I might add, will this be the first year MS can possibly make a billion in profit?

That sounds a tad high, no? Sony managed it only one year, 1999 (PS1 peak). Microsoft making it would be a huge feat.

@RVDondaPC: It isn't just fanboy chatter. See what happened to Sega? This stuff is relevant. Sony in particular can't continue on their current path, which is why people have been saying they're doooomed (exaggerated, of course).

On the other hand, sales are also important on their own. Third parties don't give a crap what Sony / Ninty / MS is making on their consoles, only how much of their software they can sell on it. We care about this because we care about what new games will come, and where they will go. Though I guess you can argue the profits of the third parties would tell this story as well...

Well they made $312 million last Q, I don't see why they would start losing that much money on the elite, so another big profit in this Q is likely, maybe 500 mill?
