The xbox brand didn't made profit till mid 2008 for many reasons, being ROD in the first place at the podium of massive losses. PS3 get out of the black last year I think.

Many studios closed due to HD flops.

I don't know what is worst to the industry honestly.

 

The only studios that flopped made crap games. Some have struggled because they put out some bad big budget games (I'm looking at you Capcom).

Studios pumping out quality games still seem to be going strong. They probably do better because crap studios are out of the picture.

And lets not pretend developers haven't lost money working on the Wii.

It was much less than in HD consoles that's for sure. Also if they made actual games and not crap they could sell better. We will maybe see this scenario on move and kinect since those are the same principle as the wii: get casuals into gaming. And somewhat casual almost means crappy. Let's see how both devices shape up, but for now things aren't looking good for kinect even at launch.

 

@ seece

my point stands. Microsft didn't know what profit means till 2008. Of course things like bad hardware conception, rod, pricetag at a loss and the first xbox, all helped the doom boat.

Gotta hit the bed now, nice talking to you guys =)

mmmm, no it doesn't. As long as Microsoft are ok with those losses, it's not hurting the industry. MS and Sony have helped the industry far more than Nintendo have this gen.
