Updated. :) I got bored. FY 2013 hasn't finished for MS or Sony. It also make the comparing of them a little difficult since they are comparing slightly different times (even different years). Sony and MS also produce income, good or bad, from other products in the same division so those numbers can be somewhat skewed. Enjoy!

I found something really really interesting...

Your 2.8b loss for 2012 (FY2011) was attributed to CPS Division like showed below:

The CPS Division had a lot more than Games and the loss was more about the others stuffs than Games only... so Sony changed again and now they showed the Game Divison data in the FY2012 results.

 

See? For Game only the FY2011 not loose money but profited... $350m profit.

So you have to fix your table.
