Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft - 1981 to 2011 gaming division profits chart

[adriane23]

Is this chart showing profits/losses for the entire companies or just each company's gaming division (well, that's Nintendo's only product division).

EDIT: I wasn't paying attention, it says gaming division right in the thread title.

I'm surprised that MS lost that much money with their gaming division in the early 2000s despite having the second best selling console, unless this chart is factoring in the marketing events they held around the U.S.

Also, I'm not sure what you can really take from this chart since it doesn't break down what products are making up the numbers.
