Microsoft's is "lost" which means despite operating income they lost that much money on the first Xbox. Nintendo's is clearly profit. As to the chart, I don't know 100% what that is (on my phone at the moment) but Nintendo has been good on profit for decades looking at past data. |
I see. Didn't notice that the chart could go into the negative like that. I thought operating income was the money that comes in from operating your business. Profit would be operating income minus expenses. But I see investopedia defines it differently, so your graph was perfectly right all along.
