...do they not want to make money or what? M$ game division still is in the red, regardless of their other divisions and making no money on the consoles won't help them move to the black.

MS is making lots of money in other divisions and can take some losses to increase its video game console market share and beat Sony in the video game market. By the way things are going next generation will result in MS's new XBox crushing Sony's PS4 by a very big margin in console sales and market share.

 

I gathered that but it's a bit odd in my view. Other companies, if they don't make money somewhere leave that and stop subsidising a failing division to save money. Nintendo haven't got a side division to back them up, if they were going in the red like M$ did, they wouldn't be in this industry any more and Sony's can't afford to subsidise their gaming division with their other ones.

And I wouldn't say that 2nd thing, a lot of people said the PS3 was going to crush it's competition, now look at the Wii. Unless you are saying that M$ will buy their way into this market more so then they already are.
