Wasn't losing money that they reached this good condition they are today. Money is what they care the most.

also to add that xbox never makes profit

happenned since original xbox

Do your research, from 08 onwards the Xbox division made profits (on year was as high as $1.3b with little else in the division making bank) it's not known if 360 overall made a profit, but for years the Xbox division was profitable.

You shouldn't bandie around quotes like that unless you can back them up with cold hard numbers.

want cold hard facts

then here you go

They're not cold hard facts, that's journalism (and it was debunked and shat on yonks ago). Come to me with numbers.

I actually have figures for that division and Xbox losing $2b a year is an impossibility.

Rock Sherlund does not like Xbox and has an axe to grind.

No offence but you're not providing any facts either. Where are you getting these numbers? Links would help you out a lot =)

Who actually cares? They make 5 billion dollars per quarter.

MS evidently do not care, success and marketshare far outweigh any profits for them right now.

Like I said, they make more than enough profit not to care about making a profit on Xbox right now. I'm sure they'd like to make a profit, but they can live without it, with ease.


I'm pretty sure if we call Bill Gates right now and ask him if the doesn't care if he's losing money he will laugh on us.
They can lose money, but they definitely don't want it and care a lot if they are losing.

No they don't, if they did they would pack it all in. What they get out of it far outweighs the losses.

You do remember Bill introduced the money pitt that was original xbox right? And then they went and made another that lost billions at launch ...

So you don't feel bad?! You monster! Those poor souls paid 50$ more =(

Hopefully you can take your receipt and get that money back, I'm sure you'll be able to.

Microsofts investors website, their fiscal reports. It's easy to find on google, go look yourself.

Hah, you are a gem. Tell others to provide some cold hard numbers and you just randomly introduce some into your argument with nothing to back it up or links to where you find them. Then you tell others to google it yourself. Bravo, you are wonderful.
