Lets break it down to you StarCraft. During the period between 2000 to 2008 Games division gross profits are as follows: Nintendo leads the way with a gross profit margin of nine billion dollars. Sony has a reasonable gross profit margin of just over 2 billion dollars. Microsoft has made a gross loss of 5 billion dollars - ouch!!! MS has only made a profit of one billion dollars in the past year, the loss was at a peak of 6 billion dollars. Still a long way to break-even.

So why would they give up if their finally starting to make money??

 

MS Exec - "Hey we're finally making money, tell the boss we're shutting down the Xbox division!" <-- I don't understand how you think that makes sense....

 It will take Microsoft between 4 to 5 years to erase the 5 billion dollar loss. I guess the New XBox should be held off until 2012 or it would mean more losses. Both introducing the PS3 and XBox 360 generated an initial cost of billions to get the new consoles onto the market.
