Looking at financial statements, I see MS crushing Sony in profits, not losing billions. I don't know what you're talking about. Unless you're talking about Sony's game division vs. MS's home and entertainment division. In which case, you don't know what you're talking about since that division has about a dozen money losing products so no one can tell how the Xbox 360 in particular is doing.

MS always being reticent about which products are losing money shouldn't exactly be the most reassuring thing for investors. We can only know that Windows and Office give MS profits so high to compensate other divisions' losses, but now part of Office profits are at risk and MS is playing again dirty against ODF to stop OOo and whichever else Office competitor, but EU is more and more relying on open formats and protocols and it isn't willing to tolerate other unfair actions by MS, next time fines could be so high to really hurt and restrictive measures, well, more restrictive.
