PS3, even it doesn't become the outright #1 next-gen platform, is certainly going to make a significant positive impact on the Sony books from all the third-party licensing, accessories, as well as the potential impact the platform could make on sales of Blu-Ray.

Nintendo for its fiscal year 2005 made a $808 Million dollar profit and it shouldn’t be much of an issue for Nintendo to recapture the same amount with the huge success of the Nintendo DS and the expectations for the Wii. Sony, an electronics company has been through alot of financial trouble for the past few years especially with the recent battery recall; the worst recall in history.
