I was just wandering that these are some massive price cuts across all the configuration... and if i remember correctly last quarter they took a loss when they only cut the price in Europe.. now they are again cutting price across all models and in all region, so don;t u think they r going to take a big hit.? or the RROD repair budget they set aside is no longer going to be available.?

They took a lost last quarter because they bought out a company, do some research before trolling.

 

 

Link or it didnt happen

Actually purchases don't show up as losses on financial statements anyway. Its an aquisition of an asset, not a liability. So no link needed.

Btw - Its uncertain how much the Xbox 360 profited or lost as its stuck in the same division as a lot of loss making endeavors like the Microsoft surface computer initiative which I doubt has much to show for a lot of R+D for example. Nor do I think they are profitably selling/marketing Zunes either.

 

The Entermainemnt and Devices division profits are also boosted by huge sales from MS Office for the Mac.  It is impossible to tell how much money the 360 itself is making (or losing) Microsoft.
