Not so much it seems.

"The entertainment and devices portion of Microsoft (EDD) which houses X360, saw revenues of $3.698b  for the quarter, with profits of $679m."

"Thus the nine-month profit of 49.557b Yen ($602.9m) indicated Nintendo profit reached 51.57b Yen ($627m) for the three months ending December 2010."

And that's with the biggest thing ever, Kinect, launching that quarter.


Pretty damn impressive if you ask me.  What is the combined user base of DS and Wii owners that were purchasing software this holiday season?  Not to mention no businesses in the same division that are losing money bringing down the numbers for EDD.

Except that EED also accounts for mobile section, so they are even. Or not, since the DS is downing because of the 3DS.

Why is everyone suddenly bringing up the fact it has other devices in the division as a means to say that's why it's more profitable LOL. I doubt any of them make any impact in terms of profit, except when things like Kin get killed off and really dent profits.

Enough of this " We don't know what makes profit" rubbish, the 360 does, and the other devices, IF they make a profit, are going to be very small compared to the mammoth 360/live/kinect business. COMMON. SENSE.
