"$60bn profit in just the last 3 years."

Last time I checked, we were talking about games. What you just said wasn't entirely from their Xbox division. So what I'm saying is that Microsoft hasn't made money from the Xbox.

I say again. So what?

Xbox isnt a standalone business. Which bit of that dont you get?

....and Microsft IS making money from its business. One more time... past losses do not carry over, thats not how business works.. unless you are that fanboy that created a meaningless spredsheet of utter nonsense.

Do you work for Microsoft? Now you're getting really defensive. But if you think they made money off the Xbox, then so be it.

lol if he does I have a few bones to pick with him, I don't think he does tho.

He's probably annoyed because what you're saying is irrelevent.

This topic is interesting and wholly unnecessary. Nintendo is by far going to be the most profitable company in video games because their software consistently sells the most regardless of install base.

But that is only a surprise to those who have an agenda or are misinformed. They will most likely not sell the most home console hardware this generation though.

Other corporations have doubled the marketshare though. Nintendo hasn't really been pushing tech, so they are always in a position for immediate profit or eventual profit. Playing it safe is smart but its also cost them in other ways. It seems to be the way of the world.

Correct me if I'm wrong. N64 + GAMEBOY, GAMECUBE + GB ADVANCE, Wii + DS, and Wii U + 3DS. The last one is only getting started. Profitwise in games, Isn't Nintendo always NUMBER 0NE?

Your post makes zero sense. MS made what 24 billion last quarter alone? Why do you feel sorry for mega corporations?

yes... really.

Would you happen to know how much MS has made recently off just the XBox division? I've been hearing that xbox live has made them tremendous profit.

Irrelevant< MS and Sony are huge, they have many other devisions so they can push tech and seel at a loss initially. Nintendo is JUST a gaming company so they have no choice or will go under.

No they didnt. That was for the year, but yeah, i already made this point too.

We'll didn't really care about the actual number, just the point really. But this thread makes ZERO sense.

Wasn't the GC only because of the handheld that was out at the time? Plus is the 3DS still selling at a loss? If so then nintendo will have to work hard to get there this gen.

3ds been selling at a profit for some time now
