I don't know the facts about online gaming profits, so I don't know how to answer the question...

I assume you mean only console online gaming, and so I doubt it's profitable as of today. I am a believer of online gaming though...and I don't see how it can't be profitable in the future when the demand will be there (IMO). I don't think monthly fees will work out in the near future, but maybe a different system like charging extra for online-oriented games, which would force companies who run servers to develop high quality online games themselves (and charge royalties to developers who utilize those servers).

Whatever the case, I think it can work out quite well, and will be a huge part of future console gaming.
