Actually that claim may be not as bad as many think. Because Xbox 360 was profitable since 2008 and likely stayed profitable until now. Xbox 1 losses are likely happening, but Xbox 360 has profited for 5 years now, especially since kinect came in 2010.
I am now curious, because while Xbox itself is still in the red, I wonder just how much the Xbox 360 profits have cut it down by. However,Microsoft and Sony have been lumping in their consoles with other products for years now so it is hard to be sure just how much.
All that aside, the user I was talking about didn't seem like he had your perspective. It sounded a lot like Xbox never made profit in any single year, not over the lifetime of the brand. Otherwise he would have specified that at some point.

The division has never been profitable overall period.

On that we can agree. But that wasn't the debate I was previously having. The other person was convinced Xbox never profited in any point in time, to which I countered as best I could. Thank you.
