Will MS ever win a generation?

Because Nintendo makes HH as well. If they made main Pokémon games for their HC it would sell a lot better.

Nintendo is just a gaming company, even smaller than the gaming division of Sony and maybe even MS (not sure about their size) and has to split their resources into two because they have to support two platforms.

Using operating income of their gaming divisions is the best source we have available right now.

You can't seperate Nintendo's HC from their HH. Doing so is unfair.

Where's the hard proof that GBA + GC was less profitable than just the PS2? Granted, I have no hard proof of the opposite either.

But GBA selling over 80 million units when its succesor already released 3 years later is pretty impressive. The PS2 had 6 years on the market without a succesor. Nintendo sold each GBA for profit and the games were relatively cheap and fast to make. It ùdoesn't see=m that weirùd to =me that the GBA + GC + first 2 years of the DS made more profit than the PS2 and the first year of the PSP.

Handhelds should be counted separately as their generations are not synchronized to console generations and (as I already said earlier) they appeal to a widely different audience. Your dogma to combine Nintendo's consoles with handhelds is nothing more than artificial inflation.

Lol, take a look at the top selling HH games and then compare them with the top selling HC games on Nintendo consoles.
