Doesn't include Sony's final Q for their FY (coming May 25th), or Microsoft's (coming July 21st)
|
so MS E&D has made more this year so far (another quarter to come) than SCE ever has in a single year in its history....? thats incredible..
|
Indeed
|
You say history does that mean the first bar is for sonys PS1 profits
|
No but I have data all the way back to when Sony entered the gaming race, and they've never posted more than $1 billion profit in a year.

That's simply amazing. It really puts things into perspective when it comes to the gaming arms race. Being her on VGC it's easy to view success PURELY from unit sales volume, but profits are the measure of any successful business. Nintendo's profits have always impressed me, but to see the turnaround MS has made this gen (even WITH the RRoD disaster) is one for the ages.
And while this may upset some to read, it alters my view a bit of the success that I thought the PS1 and PS2 were. Not to say they weren't, PLEASE don't misinterpret it that way. I just thought there were profit monsters and that's not the case, comparatively speaking.
