For those who wanted to know, I looked at all the annual reports of Nintendo since the release of Wii and the total profits derived from the 7th gen since '06 is 8.5 Billion US $ o_O

8.5 billion? That is awesome! That is almost 1.5x of Microsoft's quarterly profits! Unbelievable!

And how much did MS and Sony make in gaming during the same period? They didn't do nearly as well. Fact. They were left in the dust.

What does that have to do with my post?
