From all 3 company which would will profit the most.

Xbox 360 With 1 year start and HD-DVD

Wii With it's cheap console

PS3 beacuse it's Blu-Ray and Cell

i would say PS3 will profit the most because Blu-Ray seems to be winning over HD-DVD and seems to have alot of surpports from major studios which can profit alot for sony and also PS3 Will sell alot of units by it's life span

Nintendo. I bet a wii costs nothing to make compared to 360 and PS3. Sony is definetly NOT profitting the most, they are losing 200$ per console. 360 is probably making an OK amount, but nothing compared to WII profit.

Regardless if Microsoft isn't going to be successful, they will still gauche you in other aspects like operating systems, office systems, ads, and many other things. Sony only has TVs, some computers, digital cameras and gaming. Nintendo only has gaming, so if Wii falls apart, they're screwed. gnutux

his question, out of which 3 company profits the most. even though there is a poll. his question does not say which console makes the profit for what ever company. so my answer is Sony since ps2 makes a profit for Sony.

Nintendo has always made profits... that has always been their strategy.

Microsoft only recently pulled the 360 into the black and Sony is still losing over 200 per console sold... :?

90% of the time the losses you'll take immediately after launching a product have to do with manufacturing costs Vs actual selling price. This is evident with the Wii(See the link provided above),Nintendo make no whatsoever losses because they opted for a graphic chip that costs the same as a pair of shoes at Payless...........................

making $40 is greedy?

and that doesn't factor in other things, like the wiimote. the proffit isn't overly huge. Companies exist to make money. They would fail if they didn't

Nintendo?Yes. Microsoft and Sony are willing to take losses not only because they can afford it,but because they want to provide the consumer with a quality gaming experience from start to finish,be it from online,graphics,sound,multimedia,etc. Nintendo are a 30 billion dollar company,they could easily take a 2-4 billion dollar loss and still be fine,they simply dont want to offer excellent hardware for fear of failing again.....The harsh reality is,they might actually fail with the cheap hardware.........................

^ True,all companies do want to make a profit,but all good companies are also prepared to take losses as a result of providing the latest groundbreaking,quality technology. You might not see $40 as much,but think about this:After selling 4 million consoles,Nintendo have made close to 160 million dollars.Microsoft,even after selling 10 million,are just starting to turn a small profit,and this is because of their accessories and games. Factor in that Nintendo also make millions from their games,you'll see why people consider them the greediest among the 3.

You sound more like a casual to me (no offence) because you seem more interested in films and sound to give a damn about games.
