What about 2000 (xbox r&d) & 2001 (xbox launch) loss??

 

FY2002 started July 1, 2001. The XBox R&D may have gone under a different division.

Yeah, Microsoft has a handy "Corporate-level activity" financial reporting section which I'll let Microsoft describe in their own words:

Certain corporate-level activity is not allocated to our segments. Those results include expenses such as broad-based sales and marketing, product support services, human resources, legal, finance, information technology, corporate development and procurement activities, research and development and other costs, and legal settlements and contingencies.
