Then what you're suggesting is that they've made ~$1.5-2 billion in subscription fees and on top of that an extra billion just on content downloads?

I don't think their financial statements reflect this? Maybe they are selling the hardware at a loss then.

 

Its better than you suggesting that in the last 6 years all the live subscriptions and content download only amounts to 1 billion isn't it?

 

Infamy is right - MS doesn't get the full $50ea. for premium subscriptions, but even still the combined 6 years totals would surely topple the 1 billion mark...I think it's better to suggest that 'majority' is inaccurate.
