Ok, that doesn't really mean all that much. Has revenue increased BY that amount or TO that amount? There is a very big difference.

It means they spent 2,1 Bn $ on Xbox but only earned 1,7 Bn $ back. Whether the revenues are up or not and how much doesn't matter as the profits are gone.

No. It means they spent 2.1B more this year than last while earning 1.7B more also

Oh, I read a bit too quick so I thought it was total revenue and Operating revenue not the increase. At least I have the excuse of not being a native English speaker but does anyone know the operating revenue and revenue of last year?
