Games Thanks to the massive success of the Wii and DS game consoles, Nintendo was able to turn the tide and once again become the number one game company in the world. As with any honeymoon, however, it must come to an end at some point. Nintendo reported its financial results for the first half of 2009 yesterday, and it didn't look good.

"3) The profits dropped by 52% but they still made a profit - compare that to Sony and Microsoft whose games divisions still haven't turned a profit.


Uhm, Micrisoft's XBox division is making a profit, as far as I know.

Microsoft subsidized XBox to the tune of > $1 Billion in losses before it made a penny.

Just find and read the 10-Q statements from the XBox's first release until it finally turned a profit.

Lets also be honest for a second and recognise the fact that the division is made up of a large number of completely unrelated components. Microsoft has many divisions and outside of Office and Windows, are all unfocused.
