The thread title is misleading. Bach is referring to the entire ENTERTAINMENT DIVISION, not just the 360. People keep thinking it's the 360, because they forget what else that division controls, such as the Zune, which did lost the division a lot of money. The 360 is actually about breaking even, since its manufacturing costs went down.

The entertainment division is around 70% 360. Most of the rest is the reasonably profitable windows games group. There is very little chance that the 360 is making money with the total division losing as much as it is.

 1. Where did you get that number?

 2. If it's true, is that income, manpower focus, or money focus? Those are different, and would mean that the 360 may not be bringing in more money than other things are losing. And in this case, I mean a difference from the 360 system itself, and the marketing of it, which is a money drain. They need some help outside North America.
