I am aware, and you can dampen it all you like 1.3B is not 'barely profitable' it's more than Sony have ever achieved with the Playstation division since its inception. To put it in perspective.

Why are you so focused about Sony? Sony isn't even relevant when it comes to Microsoft. As far as Microsoft's profits go, the Xbox is basically insignificant and arugably pointless (and possibly harmful given how they decided to fuck a core audience of Windows to barely turn a profit).

Because Sony and Nintendo should be their benchmark, it's stupid to expect MS to achieve gigantic profits akin to the Windows division in other areas, if all the smaller divisions make a profit, it's a good thing. And you can belittle the xbox division all you like, and yes it's small (not insignificant) to their main profits, but it's not barely profitable, to call a division making 1.3B in a year barely profitable is just stupid.
