Why would it upset anyone that they will be making Billions more?

6 Billion is gigantic. Doesnt matter if it was Years ago or Yesterday. Does it?

No I meant... if the headline is MS loses 1bn this quarter then I expect a lot of uneducated fanboy bullshit laying claim to MS doom...

There is a world of differenc between this and the recent Sony write down.... a world of difference.

Yeah, thats bound to happen. Doesnt matter if its a Billion or a Million. Same would go for Sony and Nintendo.
