Well, they're still not making any profit. The RROD has probably cost them over 2 billion by now, and they're nearing $10 billion in overall losses from the Xbox brand.

Dang, dude. Do you have a source for this other than your butt?

OT - My bad on the earnings ... and Legend, as always, has the correct info.


Lol, do you feel threatened or something? There's no need to be hostile.

Microsoft lost $7 billion on the original Xbox and MSN, most of it which was a result of Xbox production costs. Add that to the 3-? billion they've lost on the 360, and it's nearing $10 billion.


No, I don't feel threatened. I knew it was high, but I wasn't counting on you adding MSN as well, which isn't part of the gaming division, no?

I am confident in my console choices. I will soon have all three consoles, but no real plans to expand my PS3 library at the moment ... 


Including MSN it's actually OVER $10 billion, excluding MSN it's closing in on it like I said.


so what? we know they lost money but they are making now


They're not making money, they're recouping losses. At this point, they're so deep in the red they'll never make a profit.
