NVIDIA Posts Net Loss of $200 Million

[MrMilli]

Ahhhh right, now your talking market share and NOT profit/loss. The 2 dont necessarily sit hand in hand I am afraid, for example manufacturers more and more in this highly competative market sell at a loss (NVidia especially in the last 12 months), often whilst maintaining market share, it's sometimes how long they can go making that loss that determines the actual strength of the company, especially in the current worldwide economic crisis.
Funny thing is...... ATi will probably post a loss too, although thats just a guess.

I know they don't sit hand in hand but google can help you with that:

So obviously ATI didn't have a bigger market share at the expense of their gross margin like nVidia is doing now.

BTW the ATI departement posted a $1 million profit in Q1 2009.

So are you assuming that if ATi/AMD included their other operations the picture would be different?

Don't you think their revenue would be higher if they included chipsets, ...?
Revenue != profit

MrMilli: no need to double post, edit those back into one please.

You obviously have a different definition of terminiology and/or it's meaning than I do over here and I am a qualified accountant, Revenue here is generally a term I use for Gross income, not net worth and therefore profitability generally speaking.
