I'm guessing MS are already, or are planning for the future, to write back some of that billion of RROD money as profit. "Set aside" more than you could possibly need, charge it to a single quarter, and when you don't spend it all, claim the rest as profit in later quarters.
That's just a guess, though.
360 is still far from being a financial success, even if its slightly less of a disaster than XBox1.
