If you look at what was announced and the comments, it is clear that Nintendo did not do anything that changed the minds of many 20-something males who like to play FPSs. Instead, they showed they can offer enough to a slightly older gamer who has a family that he/she may no longer feel the need to have two console because they will get games like AC3 (which I WANT) and BM:AC (which I don't).

But then again, maybe it knew it could not do that, so it decided to go for everyone else and make a profit for its investors -- something no video game console maker (or its sector in a larger company) did last year.

And when you only make video games, that is important. The sales analysis shows in the OP also shows how little the stock analysts know. They are going on buzz of a very small demographic rather than on potential results over a wide audience.

microsoft gaming division made money last year.  it had one down quarter which was their most recent but they profited the previous three...

If that is the case, then I "stand corrected" (even though I am sitting as a type this).
