And here is where your thinking is incorrect. It doesn't matter if MS is paying for the push forward or doing it themselves. Most those companies you listed wouldn't even be able to push forward if they didn't have MS behind them. The real situation is the brains are there for the little people but if you don't have the cash to get your thoughts and ideas out they won't help push anything forward. And thats when MS steps in and provides the funds. So in essence they are involved in the push forward because if they weren't paying you wouldn't even know what those companies would be capable of. All great inventions have had big time backers behind them. MR Ford wouldn't never have moved America forward with the automobile if he didn't have big businesses producing the funds. Same with MS, they have a talent at finding the talent when no one else see's the talent. They take big risk and reap big rewards. Its been going on since the beginning of time, MS ain't doing anything that hasn't been done before. SO just get over it and be happy they are willing to produce the cash to bring these people's vision to life.

Point is who cares what division made a proit when the company as a whole is losing. Do you think that just because one division does good it means that division will not be affected when the company as a whole is losing? Yeah ok, if you believe that then GM has some golden stock for you hurry up and buy.

You know why most don't care is because they are multi-console owners. I don't care if developers don't push out as much on the PS3 as long as I can still get the games on the 360 and vice versa. Other then that people who own more then just said console aren't really certained about how many units a company is selling each month unless they are a shareholder.

Well using vgchartz is exactly the best news site. And this isn't the only web-site reporting this. look here.

Yeah I real web-site that doesn't make up stuff since you seem to believe that is what is happening here. Quit being in denial, Sony is hurting right now.

You are spot on with everything besides your consoles to handheld comment. They are two different genres, you can't compare a handheld that can be purchased at under an 100 dollars to consoles that are mostly in the range of 299-499. Of course handhelds are always going to sale more there a cheap game system to buy for children to keep them pleased without spending a bunch of money. So of course you can't compare those numbers to consoles. That would be like comparing PC sales to consoles, two totally different platforms.
