Did 360 lose $339m? This is huge loss for an quarter.

"Overall Xbox 360 accounted for around a third of Entertainment & Devices’ $1.6bn revenue for the period, though that was not enough to stop the business unit posting a loss of $339m. In the sale period in 2011 it reported profits of $210m."

They have the wrong numbers. EDD lost 229 million USD

And as explained by Microsoft:

The losses came from Windows Phone 7 and R&D.

+ 100 Million for R&D (Xbox 3!)
+ 250 Million for Nokia
+ 75 marketing expenses (Windows phone 7)

There you have 425 million USD. So you are looking at a >200 million profit of the Xbox 360 in the past 3 months.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...
