WTF!? GC made more money than PS2?

They had Gameboy in this period as well. Factoring that in I think the PS2 was more profitable.

Yowch at Nintendo's FY 2011 so far. 3DS ought to improve things a little, though, and FY 2012 should be phenomenal again with 3DS all the way through.

EDIT - By the way, would you happen to know what other products are included in the MS/Sony gaming divisions?

Seeing it all layed out in a pretty graph like this really makes one wonder why Sony went for the loss leading strategy again with the NGP. Clearly Nintendo's strategy is superior and if I were a Sony investor I'd be asking about this.



 

Well done Seece...everyone likes colorful graphs.

Well we don't yet know that Sony is going to go with a loss leading strategy with the NGP but I agree with you. I don't understand why Sony ,or MS for that matter, doesn't adopt Nintendo's strategy.
