Thanks.

But wth are they bickering about then? 2,6 Billion loss is not too far away from 2,996 billion and 4,58 billion loss is not too far away from 4,9 billion loss. Is it the conclusion drawn in the article?

The problem is that there is no division that only includes the Xbox or Playstation.

Look at what crissindahouse said. The Xbox is in a division with all those stuff and some of them could very well make huge losses and it would even include R&D costs of several devices that haven't been announced yet.

Zune is surely not making any money, Windows Phone probably not either, Surface definitely didn't make enough money yet to out balance the R&D investments etc.

Also since there is also no differentiation between consoles, it means that Xbox 720 and PS4 R&D costs are included as well as losses/profits of Xbox and PS2.

Ah, I see. Thank you for pointing that out. I think I focused too much on comparing the numbers^^
