Xbox360 is not just in trouble, in serious trouble!!

1 year ago, it had the best games, now that Wii is catching up, it's sales are dropping
also, it had a price higher than Wii, now that the price is even lower than Wii, and Ps3 is still outselling Xbox360.....

The Xbox is selling far better in 2008 than it did in 2007.

The console isn't doing amazing numbers but MS is now profiting from their games division and I doubt that will change any time soon. It's not all doom and gloom for MS.

Not counting the cost of repairs, which were back-charged so they wouldn't affect the current bottom line.  Microsoft did this, of course, so they could show a profitable year on paper (despite it not actually being profitable).

Plus, having a single profitable year when you're 6.5 billion in debt with the project might be a big deal because it's their first profitable year, but it doesn't show that they're going to actually have a profit to show for the entertainment division anytime soon. It just shows that it is possible to eventually generate a profit, assuming they can get profits to be larger then the cost of establishing a console.
