Total Loss from Microsoft's E&D Division is nearly below $6B

This kind of a tough chart to follow. The EDD division began in 2006? In your chart the profit/losses prior to 2006 are specific to the xbox, but 2006 onward MS mixed the xbox with Microsoft Games, Retail Office, Retail Windows XP, Retail Vista, and Zune. I believe 2007 included the 1.2 billion dollar warranty charge, but it is not surprising that the xbox became profitable after it was included with the other products.
