The industry as a group has never made as big profits as these last years, the issue is the majority of those are concentrated into fewer companies ( Nintendo + Acitivison probably represent over 90% of the profits)...

And I'd say most of Activision's profit actually comes from Blizzard which doesn't even make video games.

I don't know if your statement is correct though. Especially if one subtracts the losses from the profits..

 

you mean "substracts the losses from the revenues" right ???


About the OP,

Many compagnies are posting relatively high revenues but they still suffer from big losses because of too high R&D and developpement costs

No. I mean that if we want to look at the profitability of the whole industry, we should add the profits from the profitable companies, and subtract the losses from the money-losing companies.

So for example we'd calculate Nintendo's profit + Activision's profit - Sony's loss - EA's loss etc...
