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.

But what has the Xbox platform contributed to the bolded? It doesn't matter that MS is going well, the question for most shareholders would be 'what does the Xbox platform contribute, and what would my return be if MS wasn't losing money the Xbox platform?". For one the dividends would be higher if MS hadn't lost $400 million in the Xbox platform last year, as a shareholder I'd care about that.
