A fair lot. You would have to deduct their revenue from the expenses to actually figure out how much though.

-LAHWF Unbelievable, Nintendo probably wishes they had that many sells.
They probably did way back when Xbox and PS3 weren't even thought of, but Nintendo's time is up.

Plug Sony are going to be rolling in the money!
I only think more people are going to Sony because it's cheaper. But I've played on both consoles and they both don't seem as "next-gen" as Microsoft and Sony make them out to be.
