Reporter:  So Don, the 360 has just enjoyed a full year of consistant profitibility.  For four straight quarters you guys have been in the black, a first for the Xbox brand.  The console is truly at the height of its success, with revenue from Xbox Live subscriptions and Arcade sales eclipsing 700 million and a billion dollars a year respectively.  What you guys have done is incredibly impressive.  You must be immensely proud of yourselves over at MGS...

Don Mattrick:  You know, we are.  We really are.  And with the recent launch of the 360 S combined with the upcoming launch of Kinect and a new dashboard, the 360 is by no means slowing down.  This year should be our strongest yet!

Mattrick:  Raise our prices!

Reporter:  ...

Good. This thread needed some comedy!

Preach on!
