Gee golly, another swing and a miss. Also, you have people around you reading this thread with you? That's bizarre.

Link 1 even confirms exactly what I just told you. There is no "Xbox division". Hell, earlier in this thread you listed Windows Phones as one of MS's failures. Your own link tells you Windows Phones is in the same division as Xbox and the analyst speculates MS would be losing money in that division without royalties. Do you really need someone to connect the dots for you?

That's not even mentioning the fact that all 3 links you posted are nothing but guesswork and speculation (2 from the same analyst). Allow me to help you out some more. We know Xbox is in a division with products that lose money. We know there are rumors that MS will sell the Xbox brand. We know MS makes truckloads of cash from Android royalties. Of course what we don't know, is what that has to do the topic at hand. Sony lost billions this last gen. I guess they don't know shit about the game market?
