Any you do realize that Microsoft had record profits for the company in their last FY right? And that's even with the 1+ billion they set aside for the extended warranty/rrod issue. Anyone who is coming out and saying that Microsoft is going to dump the Xbox 360 or get out of the videogame console business is talking out of their ass considering both Steve Balmer and Bill Gates have put their full support behind the Xbox line. |
This is all true, however if i were an investor or stockholder or even business owner i would say something along the line sof "Okay, where are we making our money, where are we losing this money....holy shit we are losing a billion dollars in this single division. Perhaps if we refined our focus and resources to play to our strengths we could turn less loss and possibly a greater profit in other areas"
Thats just another way to look at it. MSFT isnt hurting, and i dont presume that was anyones initial point, but if this division has YET to make this company money and still cant after its only chance (IMO) Halo 3 then perhaps it may be time to pull the plug, but then i can see your argument, throwing money into a well to keep sony at bay witht he PS3 may be worth it to MSFT.....who knows.
