$63m, is that all?  

(the 'article' (blog) orginally did the math wrong... funny, they had it at $643m loss, no doubt they rushed the article out on the strength of this in full on excitement only to be corrected by a kid that can actually add up)

Ayhow, thats buttons. A fair few assumptions too that may or may not be correct.

Lets see how the accounts look for the quarter when they are released in January shall we.

But in the end... consoles have historically been loss leaders to sell games and other services. So whats new?

 

 

edit.  why did you cut out the funny kaz twitter? ...spoilsport.

Yeah, they always have. Of course the Big 3 would like to have a profit instead.

Microsoft can definitely take the hit and if November results are any indication of the results, Microsoft would probably do it again.
