Xbox live is only a part of the xbox division. Are you going to  ignore the fact that there has been serious discussion about selling the xbox division? (I don't remember if it was from an investor or a CEO). There's only so much money xboxlive can make on its own. If you factor all they money they spent for first party games, advertising, tv stuff, exclusives/timed exclusives, etc, it is likely that it is actually not doing well. Especially considering how many price cuts xb1 has had so far.

Also, do you think that responses such as "lol oooook" have a place in a serious discussion? I find them very disrespectful. If you seriously disagree with someone, explain why and if you think they're not worth yout time, simply ignore them.

Just my two cents. 

You said that the "profits" of the Xbox division are Skype and Android Royalties. Xbox Live Gold subscriptions are also a part of that. There was no serious discussion of selling Xbox, there was the guy who people thought was going to be MS new CEO saying that he would heavily consider selling off the devices and bing division. He is not the CEO. 

If you payed attention to the Quarterly Earnings Kowen posted you would see that MS does "make one red cent on Xbox"

I said what now? 

As for the Quarterly Earning, no, I haven't read that thread, but I have heard that ms doesn't reveal how much xbox does on its own. If they are all put together, how can we know how much they're making from xbox? There's a reason Sony also tries to hide how badly the vita/psp are/were doing buy mixing sales of different hardware together.
