Guess I have seen them all.
Firstoff, this thread is (was) about if the X1 will ever catch or match the PS4 sales. I like most others have said it wouldn't and have gone on to explain why we think so. But you seem to not actually be talking about the sales thing at all, you seem to be saying that MS doesn't care if sony's PS4 sells more consoles and thus "wins" this console generation. Yet you talk about the MS divisions profits. Do you have any idea how those profits come by?
But yh, MS doesn't care.

It seems to be the case with quite a few Xbox fans. Can't talk sales, so they move on to profits. Even when Sony's gaming division profits, they move on to the companies, as a whole. Trying to hope/imagine some scenerio where Sony is going to go bankrupt in the next year or so, so the Xbox One will win by default. Kinda sad when you have to hope for a competitor to go under, cause your fave company can't compete, otherwise.
Of course, what they fail to see is that while MS, as a whole, is doing very good, many investors are not happy with them shoving money into the Xbox division. Something they see as a lost cause, now. It's obvious how this gen is playing out on a WW scale, so MS throwing money around isn't going to change anything. We saw this in March, when MS threw away money to not only get exclusivity for Titanfall, but also to be able to give it away free, in an already discounted bundle. Sony still won NPD. And once support for the 360 is dropped, and all that extra profit from it dwindles, MS's Xbox division isn't going to look so hot.
