Nintendo's Profits Fall On Gamecube Sales

Gamasutra reports that Nintendo's sales have dropped 21% compared to last year's numbers, largely on sluggish Gamecube sales. From the article: "Although a significant fall, Nintendo remains the most consistently profitable console hardware manufacturer when also factoring in game sales, especially compared to nearest rival Microsoft, which is estimated to have lost around $4 billion on the Xbox in the last five years. Nintendo officials are sticking to full year forecasts of operating profit of ¥90 billion ($758m), net profit of ¥75 billion ($631m) and sales of ¥400 billion ($3.4bn)."

Nintendo has made more profit than both Sony and Microsoft combined actually

Actually no. Sony has made more than Nintendo this gen, than Nintendo has in the bank altogether.
