| Dolla Dolla said: Not necessarily. They posted their first yearly profit ever for last year from the Entertainment and Devices Division since the Xbox brand launched. Here are the numbers.
2009 represents just this past quarter. All other years represent full earnings (loss). I guess that depends on when they start producing the next hardware, right? Technically, aren't they already prepping for the next box? We won't hear about that for awhile. |
Looks to me that 2009 (Still 3 quarters left including the biggest qtr of the year) may cover the 2006 loss, which was the fiscal year the 360 launched. 2008 almost covered 2005 loss (which was both Xbox and Xbox 360 R&D). Will 2010 (July 2009 through June 2010) cover 2007 loss. That leaves a 2-3 years of profit for the program. This doesnt even take into account that some of the losses were for other programs.
Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.
