I like it when games sites put up random financial garbage. Where are the labels for the axis? What do they represent? I guess they mean profits/losses for their respective gaming divisions over fiscal years...

They assume that the Nintendo's loss would remain constant at 257 million dollars which is not true

Microsoft has never reported a loss in its 26 years of being public even with the RROD debacle. They made more money last year (23 Billion) then Nintendo probably has made in the last 20 combined.

Sony is the worst finally of the three but they still have a relative strong short term balance sheet which they can ride out the current storm they are in, especially if the Yen continues to weaken against its major trading partners.

Cash on Hand...
Nintendo: 10.5 Billion
Sony: 13 Billion
Microsoft: 40+ Billion
Apple: 100+ billion

Cash is just a portion of a company's balance sheet, as long as a company's liquidity is fine, the company will continue to function. Unless you plan on doing a dividend payout or an acquisition flashing a cash amount doesn't really do anything.
