I think MS will, but this will have to be the make or break console. The division is still in the red, and PS3 is outselling it on a constant basis with all of Sony's blunders.

With the next round of systems, Sony should have wised up, and should easily blow MS out of the water again. Maybe then they'll get the clue.

I thought MS was finally in the black for the console?  I do agree this one will have to sell for them.  Talk about the red Sony is HUGELY in the red with the PS3. 

I like having sony and MS in it keeps them both in check and the prices dropping

 

MS lost more than $6,500,000,000 on the Xbox and the first few years of the 360. They made a profit of a few hundred million dollars in the last few quarters.

 

 

Per the latest July NPD numbers qutoe from MS " closed out a profitable year with $2.1 billion in growth in our Entertainment & Devices Division (Microsoft internal data)." and they should continue to make money

$2.1 billion growth doesn't mean $2.1 billion profit. And the entertainment division is not just Xbox. It also includes stuff like Zune.
