actually the 360 covered all the losses it made for the gen. SO the 360 is a profitable business. If they talk about the original Xbox, MS has a way to go, but they are doing fine right now. Especially with XBL generating a profit from the very start of next gen. |
Microsoft has lost more money in this gen, then they have made..
Even with xbl profits and all.
2005-2006 and 2007 hurt them the most.

This post is wrong.
Where was the "Big 3 gains/losses over the years" thread? Would do this thread a lot of good to show that the 360 itself has erased all the losses and begun profiting while the original Xbox's losses are still around.
And please, lets not let the division of EED distort our view of Xbox profits. EED division has Windows Phone, Zune, Xbox, and a variety of other small products. The main money loss in that division is from Zune and Windows Phone. If they were out of the division, I would imagine Xbox posting over a billion in profits per year alone. That's more than worth it.

Aha, lovely! So I guess they are still about a billion short of erasing 2005-2007 losses. Just wish that was for Xbox alone and not the EED since that convolutes things a lot.
