What if I told you that the EDD / Computing and gaming hardware division (or whatever it was / is called) posted a healthy profit for 7 years in a row?

They just reported a 900 million USD profit for FY14.
850 million USD profit for FY13
380 million USD profit for FY12
1.26 billion USD profit for FY11
680 million USD profit for FY10
108 million USD profit for FY09
445 million USD profit for FY08

I am not making this up.

Sure this is not much compared to Windows, Servers or Office, but for the last 7 years, the Xbox business was a profitable one for Microsoft.

This. What some people don´t seem to understand, it that this has little or nothing to do with the Andrid Rumors (of which there aren´t any proof) and more with alot of investors not liking tha MS are into hardware nowadays. XBox has been a solid business deal for MS for a along time, but it is a very small piece of the compny, theefore some want it gone. I hope it stays though:).
