Yay. Every quarterly report reminds me just how small the other big 2 are by comparison. :)

Yes, I was thinking this.  How much 6 Billion is in profit for only 3 months.  It is amazing.  How many countries have an annual GDP of less than that?

Then, I realized their quarter revenue is larger than either the entire valuation of Sony or Nintendo.  It is staggering.

Also, so why is it so low on the front page if they have shipped so many?  (Oh, right the unspoken rule, lol.)

Sony's revenue was over $18 billion for the 3 months ending september.  That was higher than Sony's market capitalisation at any time during those 3 months.

Mobil did very well for them that quarter. Unfortunately, they still ended up with a loss of $197 million.  Like pouring a bucket of water in a desert, it's just gone.

One have to remember their debt.  They did sell the builings, other busineses and cut jobs to save money. Yet, Sadly, they are even behind Kodak with debt vs income.

(Looked at other numbers)

Wow, Microsoft year over year growth is nearly 4 times what Apple was for the same period!
