And yet, stocks don't mean a whole lot in terms of success of a console - just look at how well Nintendo makes profit, but stocks can still drop. Microsoft makes billions upon billions every year, but their stock doesn't skyrocket every day - it still bombs like everyone else's stock.
I do believe all 3, companies as a whole, made profit last quarter. And yet all of them are tanking, along with the rest of the stock markets. (tanking is too harsh, it's a slow decline.)
Numbers: Checker Players > Halo Players
Checkers Age and replayability > Halo Age and replayability
Therefore, Checkers > Halo
So, Checkers is a better game than Halo.
