They invested a lot of money on marketing for the World cup and there are still remnants of their lost PC division. Not too mention they need money to promote their Smartphones too and it takes money to do so. Let's see from the same point of view that MS "lost" 2,5B dollars for acquiring Mojang. Sony "lost" all this money promoting their stuff and making it better.

What did MS lose?! They didn't throw this money into a river, they bought Mojang and you can be sure that there is already income from Minecraft flowing to MS. Of course this won't compensate 2,5 billion dollares at all but still they didn't lose anything.

Even funnier I think MS would be happy if Sony's android sales increase as they get a lot of money through android smartphones:

2bn... That's quite the money Sony is going to be losing...

Most of it is being written off. 

 

What do you mean by this? Where did you get the info from?
