Has MS recouped all their losses from the 360 ?

Why would they do that when they are first starting to make money and properly build brand name? They are in this game (get it?) for far more than actually outselling competitors unit to unit like Nintendo.

Because that's why Nintendo is here, to emptily outsell their competitors with no real substance to show for it.

 

 

Don't be a shill, their "profit" doesn't include the billion dollar loss due to RRoD, and does include Zune sales.

 

360 has been a total stinker so far, like the Xbox before it. Now with price cuts and no Halo 3, or first party supersellers.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the 2007 number in that chart contains the $1B writeoff so the total IS including that number.   And not to piss on anyone's parade, but Sony's numbers aren't any better.  Yes, Sony had a profit in the past, but they have dumped nearly $3B in 2007-2008...  That's a hell of a lot of money.  Almost 50% of Microsofts losses over the last 6 years.  If the 360 is a "stinker" in terms of profits, then the PS3 is as well.  Both companies have taken the "give away the razor and sell the blades" mentality just a bit too far.
