Microsofts profit by division. Is the XBOX really worth it to Microsoft?

The overall profit performance of this adventure in the home console land is an absolute failure for Microsoft, just look at the graph.

The only purpose to Microsoft to have a console is to prevent sony from having a living room PC damaging their golden cow: Microsoft Windows

If they can afford losses like this just to reach that end, then I wish good luck for them.

look at the top graph.... they can easily afford losses like this.

but the 360 now makes a profit so its mute.

We don't know if the xbox360 makes a profit. The E&D division comprises too many businesses to say that.
