Train wreck on 20 April 2012

While admittedly Microsoft has other profitable units to keep the bottom line "in the black" -- continued losses could lead analysts and investors to call for the jettisoning of the games division.

mike_intellivision wrong as usual.
Microsoft is coming off selling 100% more consoles the year before, thats more of a blip than anything else.
Nintendo on the other hand has had decelerating sales and earnings (now losses) for 3 years, thats a trend.
Microsoft has had losses in their online division (one that includes Bing) since its enception, no one is calling for the jettisoning of that division. For EDD, outside this quarter, the last time the EDD had a loss was Q4 2010 and has had 9 profitable quarters since the beginning of 2010
