Come on don't be that oblivious to the TRUTH. We know playstation division's financials Andrew it did not trend above 0 until the PS4 released while with the Wii U, ninty  was a little bit less than zero for 2-3 years and actually a bit above zero then on. The PS3 was a financial disaster while the Wii U was a sales disaster.

seems like you don't know the Playstation divisions financials then, as they became positive midway into the gen - ofcourse not enough to turn around the large early gen losses

edit: FY2011, 2012 and 2013 (ending march 2013, well before PS4 launch) all had the playstation division in the black

I was mistaken then. But overall, we can agree that the PS4 was a financial disaster while the Wii U was a sales disaster. In the end both really didn't bog down the success of their successors (pun intended). I'm glad the switch and the PS4 both have so much potential that they can reach 100mil. PS4 is guaranteed at this point and I hope the switch follows through as well.
