You can't have it both ways. The EDD division was profitable for 2 quarters and everyone claimed it was from the Xbox. Last quarter the division lost 188 million dollars. The only tangible events last quarter was the European price cut and a one time charge of 24 million for acquisition costs.

 

You got a link showing the EDD made a loss?
