So,what does that all basically mean?


It means MS spent $2.1 billion to make $1.7 billion in revenue from Xbox, meaning that they lost $400 million last FY13/14 from the Xbox platform (XB1 and X360). Now given that X360 would be profitable during that period, the loss must come from the XB1, so in essense the loss due to XB1 is $400 million plus whatever profit X360 brought in during that period.

Exactly, basically unhappy shareholders are still unhappy with Xbox. Although, that hasn't changed since the original Xbox launched. 


I'm a shareholder.  I'm not unhappy.

you?

If you can find an unhappy MS shareholder, I'll show you a moron.

a 1 year return of up 35% and long time record highs?  lol

compared to... oh.... I dunno.  Im sure we can find some worhty examples.

 

Makes perfect sense. 

Shareholders are happy with the company as a whole obviously but there are parts of the company to be worried about. 

We had a closed ama with the president of my employer and they had awful things to say about MS as a whole. Internally they are a mess and are bringing down their customers with them. 

You would know all this though because you deal with them on a day to day basis right?
