Sorry I am late to the party and didn't read though the 5 pages of comments, but while it was stated that XBL gross intake was more than 1 billion, it is suggested that MS probably only sees half that in net income. Everything from taxes, hosting services, power and cooling for servers, internet bandwidth, music/movie/game royalties and developer payouts is deducted from that 1 billion. So while 1 billion is an impressive number, the final result isn't quite that impressive. The OP says there was no spin, well you're wrong.
Bethesda's Todd Howard "if install base really mattered, we'd all make board games, because there are a lot of tables."
Feel free to add me ...
