| Rath said: Those graphs are quite misleading. From what I have heard (and don't ask for sources, I don't have any) the PS2 beat out the GC in profit but it wasn't by the massive margin you would expect from the sales. |
The problem here is that these divisions all include sources of income other than that from the sale of home consoles. Sony Game Division has revenue from it’s PSP. Nintendo’s operating income includes the Gameboy and DS. And Microsoft’s Entertainment and Devices Division includes PC games and the Zune among other things. Even with these extra incomes included I still believe that a comparison between the three companies at this level is appropriate. For those that care, detailed operating income numbers and links to the sources used are available at the end of this article.

The guy actually adressed this and said that all the divisions had other income but I guess none of you botherd to read the excellent article and just jumped to the graphs. Nothing missleading here he says it all upfront.
