| MorgZ said: Just puttng things in perspective, I think the release of Halo 3 ODST probably accounted for a fair chunk of the MS profits but either way being profitable is a good thing. MS has been in this industry now for a number of years and the board members are going to want to see profits to justify the ongoing and continued push of the MS console business. |
If MS shipped 2 million copies of ODST that accounts for at most $100M in revenue. Not profit, just revenue. Since the profit itself for the division was over $300M with multiple products that we know are losing money (Zune, MS Mobile Platform, etc.) then safe to say 360 profits doing nicely.
Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.
