How can you be so sure? The PS2 continues making profits after all. I am no industry insider but looking at the profits/loss changes over the years I figure the PS1 made about $5billion, the PS2 about $4billion, PSP about $1 billion and the PS3 has eaten all that away. (thank god HW is finally profiting)
I really doubt the GC made anything near $4billion, tbh i'd be suprised if the GCs share exceeded $1.5billion.... after all the profits madeduring the GCs lifespan (FY2002 through 2007) were $6.5 billion, and the majority of the later years will be from the DS, and the earlier years from the GBA.
