Of course they made money, however they also had to burn through quite a bit of capital over the past year or more. However, they most certainly made less profit than what they anticipated. When you have to drop your average selling price of your product's projection by 30-50%, you aren't making as much money.

If AMD wanted to they could have, in theory, had a real price war with Nvidia for market share, driving prices so low Nvidia was selling products for a loss. However, this wouldn't benefit AMD especially in a time where they need as much income as possible. AMD is the type of company satisfied with steady growth. Nvidia is the one more concerned with "opening a can of whoop-ass".
