I will correct you because you are wrong, on so many levels.
1) Microsoft HAVE posted profits this year in their entertainment division, a lot of people agree the 360 was making money before the pricecut.
2) They are not losing money from RROD, they paid out 1 billion to cover those costs.
3) You don't HAVE to get live, and not everybody has it.
4) Your figures are wrong ...
Microsoft do make a lot of money from live, I'd say the bulk of it, but it sells software like crazy and the consoles now I assume are only making a small loss.
