is that $4.2 Billion a profit figure or revenue?

 

Yep, that is net income(revenue - costs).  Their revenue was $16.63 billion.

Also, their revenue was up 2% YoY so there were some additional costs from somewhere.  And it looks like M$ is trying to trim those down, as seen from the recent job cuts.  Mostly in R&D and other extranious sections.
