Like I said, that expert was a Forbes contribuitor. He can write whatever shit he likes it has no implications on him.

You're forgoing all evidence, facts, logic and common sense over 1 forbes contribuitor. Because you want too, not because it makes sense.

Hardware makes a profit (a meaty one these days)

Live makes a profit

Software makes a profit

= Xbox still losing money.

Like I said, pure and utter ignorance.

Forbes?? Who gives a shit what a Forbes contributer says?

I was mainly refering to Nomura' s Rick Sherlund. Bill Gates' friend. A man that if he says something that isn't close to being true can see him lose all credit.

He said nothing about it making a loss, he simply advised MS to sell it to Samsung. Exactly what I was saying aobut the investors, they don't like that Xbox is apparantly causing MS to lose focus with Windows and Office (which is total BS).

"Xbox is cool, but BY OUR ESTIMATES Microsoft has not made any money on this" Sherlund - August 2013.

This guy is like me, an idiot because he contradicts what you are saying about xbox making billions. And yes, I have reason to believe the estimates of a man with such a reputation (also very close to MS) and such a background than yours "and other people not here".

NOTE: I did said that according to analyst MS were not making any money or making a loss. I am with those whose estimates point more in the direction that they are not making any money.

HA, changing the goal posts I see. It's true over the life of the Xbox franchise Microsoft have not made a profit on it, the original xbox made heavy losses and the 360's first couple of years with RROD were hefty losses. Since then, over the last 6 years, they've profited. That's all that matters, not what happened 6+ years ago, it's irrlevent today.

Over the last 6 years MS have made over $3 billion in the EDD. Fact. You have nothing to back up your claim Xbox isn't making any money other than "oh they have other products in there"

Yeah, great research there bud, flawless.
