the truth hurts xbots :P and i will be very pleased to be banned for this comment


Lol, what truth? The article is misleading. We don't know if it is the Xbox that lost money. It could have very likely been the Windows Phone 7, Windows 8 tablets, Zune, etc. that are all in that division as well as other products.

If anything, all this points to in my eyes is a ramping up of production for next generation dev kits and R&D which would create losses without any way to get profits until the next gen starts.

But enjoy your ban, since that's what you wanted :)

Yes, much more likely. BTW the "Corporate-level activity" balance sheet item, where MS puts many losses from all its divisions (amongst which every cost for R&D that has applications for more than one division), reports increased losses YoY by ~200M on the 3 months period and by 480M on the 9 months one.
