The Microsoft losses include everything in their Entertainment & Devices division, not just their consoles.  So it's hardly fair to add losses for everything else to the Xbox numbers.  But who are we kidding, this was just an attempt by some fanboy to spin numbers.

I like these ones better.

 

 

The one I posted was supposedly the inflation-adjusted one.

I highly doubt that if you take away all the non-XBox losses from MS EDD you are left with a profit.  This especially since MS, investors, and others have referred to XBox as losing money pretty consistently over the years.

The gulf between Playstation's profits and Xbox's losses is still probably billions, though you're right, it may not be the full $13 billion difference listed in the first chart.

Inflation adjusted...What a joke. I have seen that chart (the first one) before going around on VG and always thought it seemed off now I know why.

 



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.
