Well, people lead us to believe here that Xbox makes no money and Windows 8 is failing. Yet last quarter Microsoft posted the largest profit in the history of Microsoft ever. So where is this money coming from if Windows is no Cash cow and Xbox is failing?

Seems like you need to fail to make more money according to the internetz.

Yeah, it's really amazing the disconnect between the internet and the corporate reality sometimes.

 

Internet: Sony is amazing, always winning, incredibly popular, beloved by all!

Reality: Sony is a company in bad to desperate straights that loses money nearly constantly, while Microsoft is ridiculously profitable.

 

To read the internet you would think Sony should be making 500 times more profit than Microsoft, while the reality is the exact reverse.

Yep spot on.

Microsoft will be here long after copanies like Sony will either be dissolved or sold.
