How did Sony turn the PS3 around but Nintendo couldn't do the same with Wii U?

This should show it quite well

Sony pretty much threw away their money during the PS3 era. Microsoft is even more interesting.

What is that chart measuring?

Sony's game division had 29.3 billion OI in 2012. Surely taxes are not that high.

Those figures have mistakes, for example Nintendo 2008 & 2009 are way off.  2009 should be 2.79B not 5.55B!  I don't know, is a lot of it made up or what?

Others 1999 - $810 Billion, 2000 - $529 Billion, etc.  You're overall almost $10 Billion over Nintendo's actual earnings.  Get the right numbers here http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/library/historical_data/index.html

For Sony, those 2012 numbers don't correspond with the PlayStation business.
