I think MS predicted sales to turn late next year, though that was also before the bundle...long before it. Analyst said MS would take 3 years or something.

Now... with the purchase of Rare and all... MS might not even turn a profit this generation at all!
The old prediction, before the launch, the purchase of Rare, and the creation of Xbox Live, was that it would take 4 years... now that seems near impossible.
They are just paying the price to get thier foot into the industry's door.
I agree with you on the fact that Nintendo may be turning a profit right now. What have they really spent $$$ on? They sold Rare, cancelled SW... and I haven't seen some huge blockbuster promotion. (I guess Cube clubs can count... but as long as it doesn't touch my home town I can't see it costing that much)
