Cost of revenue = $3.5B
Revenue from gaming = $5.8B
Difference = $2.3B
Hmmm
There were 111,830,182 units of retail software sold @ $7.50 each = $840M per year in revenue from royalties at this point.
One could probably attribute an extra $200M est from Fable 2 + Halo 3 + Halo Wars selling a combined 5M in this time. So lets say $1B from 1st/2nd party and royalties.
Live revenues? Well lets see -> Its probably enough to take into account the other side, we have advertising revenue, DLC, Arcade games and subscriptions.
So could they be making $1B per year profit or more?
Tease.
