Total Xbox losses? Thought we were just referring to this gen as an example that profit means sustainability.Why don't we just throw in that PS3 burned through all PS2 profits and it is likely PS3 itself will never break even? EDIT: Yet still we see a PS4 coming out. So in essense this thread is just wrong.

Oh and 360 in itself is in full profit.

 

If the Xbox One bombs than it shows that two out of three Xbox generations were failures and the 360 only made a slight profit.  The Xbox division got lucky once and it is time to stop.

 

All I am saying is that if the Xbox One does terribly, the Xbox division has an awful track record with no signs of success.  That is not disputable (By people who live in reality).

Wouldn't call either Xbox generation a failure. Xbox did outsell Gamecube. But then again it didn't profit. 360 is almost at 80 million and in full profit. Would hardly call that a failure....seriously I can't imagine what you must be thinking to come up with that conclusion. 360 is now in full profit, and yet it has at least a few years left in it. So this will only widen.

With 360, the division in itself has at least a moderate track record. X1 will probably not sell as well as 360, but I have no doubt it will outsell the origional Xbox. Probably somewhere in the middle with profit in the end. This I would say is more likely, where as yours is just fishing for the worst case scenerio with a skewed view of what has allready past. That ain't reality.
