Will Microsoft have profitable quarters for now on with their Xbox 360?

I dont see them making a profit for some time now. The RROD thing is still here, and at very large numbers. I see a lot of people every day that dont have there 360 cause its in the shop. I have talked to about 10 people that have Elite systems in the shop due to RROD.

That will have absolutely no effect in the next few quarters, unless the RROD happens with new consoles. They already took the $1 billion hit necessary to fix a lot of consoles, and unless the problem grows, that will likely be enough to account for any RROD-related expenses throughout the 360's lifetime.
