There wasn't always a "Gaming Only" division for Sony and Microsoft. So directly comparing to Nintendo can be misleading for some years.
Also I feel like I'm repeating myself here but this revision HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH NX OR R&D COSTS. Here is a breakdown of Nintendo financial performance over the past few years. FY2016 refers to the year ending March 31st 2016.
DUNBAN67 MSFT has never had a gaming only division at least as far as seperating out their numbers- I don t think Sony has for most of Playstations existence either- I have never sen a source for the grpah people use to show "profit/loss" for MSFT and Sony gaming but i gurantee they are not fro iether Sony or MSFT and I giarantee they are nowere near acurate. I have been trying to tell people about how Nintendo s revenue has dropped annualy since 2009 but your graph does a much better job- It is hard to beleive that Nintendo s profits in 2009 were higher than their REVENUE in the latest year- They have lost tons of market share and have contracted as a compay in a time in which their industry has grown- Nintenod has sacrificed re- investment in their own company for the sake of lower losses and eaking out a small profit and it has cost them dearly
