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.

Xbox has never made a profit in the history of Xbox but Windows is doing fine

(Even though Windows 8 is a downgrade to Windows 7)

In just 2011, Xbox made 1/19th in profit of the total worth of Sony.

They have been making profit since 2008.

Xbox Live gold has made Xbox very profitable.


The original Xbox and 360 OVERALL both lost MS money. So they were not profitable

hold it, i hope you don't toss in xbox losses in with the 360 results, since those don't effect the 360 profitability

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view.
