No but I have data all the way back to when Sony entered the gaming race, and they've never posted more than $1 billion profit in a year.

Really makes thing look impressive for Nintendo and Microsoft to accomplish such things. 

TBH at the risk of pissing people off, I think it shows how Sony, even with a massive hit on their hands, let profit fly out of the window somehow O_o, the 360 will be more profitable than the PS2, and it looks like the Gamecube last gen was as well, despite selling 1:6th the current PS2 userbase ...

Some things to consider.

For the PS2 there is overlap, so how much more would losses be since the ps3 came out if the ps2 wasn't still there selling? then there is whatever ps1 overlap at the start and psp overlap.

Nintendo still had the GBA with the gamecube.

360 is only just covering it's own losses now, although at the rate it's going it's very possible those profits will pass the devision the ps2 was in.

But then how could profits also be so low when the ps2 sold over 1.5 billion games or more than 50% more than any other system ever has.

I wonder how much exchange rates hurt them as well.
