Creating a gaming hardware console is naturally capital intensive, but has the PlayStation always generated losses for Sony? How about the Wii for Nintendo? What is the breakdown on the Xbox P/L statement? (I realize this doesn't exist in the wild, but someone knowledgeable feel free to hazard a guess, case-study style ...)
