That was my argument from the begining !!!

 I wasn't trying to proove Sony was more profitable than Microsoft (and with all the alternatives in microsoft core markets , Linux , OSX , FireFox , Google , Yahoo I wouldn't bet too much on MS's long term growth.) Like I stated before I was strictly speaking in reference to the gaming industry ( I shoudln't have to emphasise that too much considering the site we're on)

 

And like I said before the PS3 has sold faster than the XBOX 360 , it perfomed better than the 360 since launch with less software support  , the XBOX 360 is dead in japan even with far more current and future support, the XBOX 360 is about to loose it's lead in Europe the PS3  , The only major market the 360 has is the NA and that could also be lost by '09 .

 BTW I should think they are pretty happy considering it's profitability their looking at not marketshare , 35 Million consoles , currently the best selling gaming device in Japan , i'd say they aren't too bitter right now.

 Interestingly enough you didn't mention what was the stretch of your argument until it was challenged. You might not like it, but Microsoft didn't grew to be one of the biggest companies of the world leaving sony in the dust and made bill gates multibillionare coming third anywhere.

The 360 is as dead in japan as the ps3 is, albeit i might be willing to admit the ps3's corpse isn't as rotten yet. The fact that you can't recognize that fact in this site where you can compare the ps3 performance in japan, which it still is below gamecube (a total failure in japan) levels is nothing but the red flag that marks you as a blind fanboy.

Ah, sure sony is happy right now... even with the revenue coming from the psp and the ps2, the ps3 is still dragging the whole division down into the deep pits of red ink while the "coming third, lol" 360 is driving up into profitability the E&D division of MS.

But hey, it's nice that you have that morale, you'll need it as the ps3 is losing japanese dev support. I'm sure the japanese company sony is happy their own neighbours prefer siding with the gaijin.
