Is Microsoft the only one of the big 3 who knows how to run a video game business at this point?

Hes right. Nintendos Wii was the only profitable system from the very beginning. Microsoft and Sony were bleeding money from the beginning of the  gen until about 3-4 years after launch. Sony and Nintendo know gamings roots. It involves some sort of handheld market and they they are both capitalizing on it. The handheld market is larger than that. Handhelds are more profitable than Kinect. It's Microsoft who is out of the loop my friend. Look how many PSP's and DS portables have been sold. Microsoft doesn't dedicate enough companies into variety. The focus companies on one thing or nothing at all. They still have a lot to learn.

Your posts are becoming more laughable. MS would stupid to enter the handheld market, now more then ever. MS Xbox division was profiting 2 years after 360 debuted, not 3 - 4.

Indeed.  Why would any company enter the dedicated hand held market now... ?

Actually profitability is dependant on what Microsoft has to offer. Quite frankly thats all up to them. People asked why Microsoft would even join the console race, but they did and look at them now.

There was great scope, space and achievability for a console though, but VS 3DS, Vita and the ever popular ios products?? and mobiles .... just no. No room whatever they come out with.

Microsoft puts their OS into other peoples phones? Wow....my whole argument involved them creating their own tech. I understand that HTC, Samsung and others were already doing it. Actually...if Samsung joined the gaming race Sony would shit themselves. Just saying.
