Microsoft will profit massively as always.

Nintendo will do well and survive even with some dark 5 years.

Sony and their super amazing console? Good luck with the financials.

 

Edit: Also, GC was very profitable despite its low sales.


Sony is massive, and will be fine.........sounds like someone is bitter because the PS4 is gonna destroy the wii-u, Ps2 and Ps1 all over again. That makes it 3-1 Sony.

So much wrong in this post.....

PS2 and PS1 were juggernauts and despite of that, Nintendo was more profitable with the N64.

To answer OP. Microsoft has done very well with Xbox 360 despite the rocky start it had. Once Kinnect hit the market with the Xbox Live subscriptions, Microsoft be laughing all the way to the bank. Sony = 4 billion loses with PS3. Not a very successful venture.

Nintendo did great with their previous consoles and profit margins; however, currently they are bleeding due to Iwata's poor management. 3DS + Wii U both have had horrible momentum following the release and had to rely on a price cut + Mario software during the holiday season to remain relevant.

Nonetheless despite the losses incurred with the 3DS, the 3DS segment should recoup its loses by the end of this fiscal-year and will be a very profitable business from here on.

The Wii U however will be the Gamecube of this generation to be honest. Nintendo really fucked up here, worse than Gamecube. Love Iwata but Iwata lacked foresight and thought the Nintendo brand would once again carry on and people would bindly buy the device. The Wii U will be a poor investment, with R & D, I don't count on the Wii U being profitable.
