The entertainment division number is even higher than I anticipated.

This is for the quarter, not the year, though. It was clear they'd post a quarterly profit. The question is whether they can post a yearly profit.

Also, this doesn't count the cost of their RROD repairs.

There really isn't anyway to "spin" this quarterly report into bad news for MS.  They made a lot of money in a division that has a 2-year-old console, notwithstanding the $1+ billion they've already written off for RROD.

 

If MS wasn't a filthy rich company, I would be worried, but they are a filthy rich company which can easily absorb the writeoff.
