Why does it matter? Microsoft has made more money than Sony this generation. Why don't we go by THAT number? It makes more sense than arbitrarily looking at product sales, which don't account for the clusterfucks that have set back both companies quite a bit (MS less than Sony but they both had major mistakes this generation).

higher profits are only made when a company increases the gap between the cost of producing a product/service and the price its sold at.

so i consider that another win for sony (users) since their charging us lower. infact ps3's were sold at losses and psn is free. so even though sony are not making a profit, its all good for us.

anyways sales or profits dont matter, its the games that matter and this generation theres a clear winner.

Consumers win when companies use a loss leader model but it's not sustainable in the long run. Those losses come to roost sooner or later and we end up paying for it one way or another.

There's a clear winner in games this generation? I'd say, if anything, that's where the real fight is this generation because there ISN'T a clear winner when it comes to exclusives like there was last generation when the PS2 cleaned up on everyone.
