And Nintendo is still finding ways to profit. They've had like 1 or 2 years of no profit out of like 30 plus. They are an extremely small and efficient company. They may not massive studios that are able to pump out huge games that sell tens of millions very often, but because of their smallness and how successful their games usually are they are able to stay in the green. Sony and particularly Microsoft could learn a lot from Nintendo about how to stay profitable even during the bad times.

Hard to believe, what happened in 2009?

Its shockign to see Nintendo above Sony during the GC/PS2 era

The GBA had excellent sales in its own right, it could have reached 100m units if the DS hadn't appeared so early.

Provide more "accurate" numbers if you believe they are incorrect. 

How in the world did Sony manage red with the PS4 out? The only thing that sold better in gaming history was the Wii.

They're secret is to set themselves apart from the console wars by not being in competition with the other companies. Xbox vs Playstation? Who cares, they all have 3DS's. 

PS4 wasnt out in 2011

Hard to believe Sony made less money in gaming than MS since the launch of PS4.

Are the MS figures just gaming division or do they include other stuff? As it is, it looks like MS selling less hardware and software still has them performing better financially.

They returned to profitability this year so they were in the red from 2012-2014
