"Xbox Platform revenue increased $538 million or 58%"  and "Xbox Platform cost of revenue increased $623 million or 139%"

So the cost of revenue increase more than the reveue itself. Not good.

Wait, so the Xbox division made a loss? 

That's the change , not the absolute numbers. So it's highly likely that they are still profitable, but with a downward trend which makes sense given 360 profit would be far higher than XB1 profit currently (higher margin on hw sales, higher sw sales, more live subscriptions). As 360 sales continue to wind down, if XB1 sales don't pick up the slack then profit in that division will continue to decline.
