You're not going to find anything specific to the console aspect of Microsoft's gaming division. It's buried under the mountain of Games for Windows and Windows licensing profits.

 

I'm hoping that's a gross exageration, windows licensing profits are reported under a different division.

The games division doesn't get licensing fees for the "Made for Windows" stickers on games boxes?  That sucks, if not.

Do the XBox Live profits go to "Entertainment", or to "Online Services"?  Do they split the XBL profits away from the XBL expenses, such that "Online Services" takes on the operating expenses and profits from non-game purchases, whereas "Entertainment" takes the profits from game purchases through XBL?  In any case, the profits from Windows games occlude the console profits.  You cannot really see the performance of the console aspect of MS through those reports.

 

 

 ive found a figure for 400mil+ for 2008. but thats total entertainment and devices division, obviously xbox 360 is within that division. but what other items do micro have in EDD as they call it, i know there is zune but what else comes under EDD
