You are aware, fishy, that these numbers include the Zune and every other Microsoft device on the market, and according to a source I can't be bothered to find, don't include the billion set aside for the RRoD losses.


They set a billion aside for RRoD in fiscal 2006. It's already on their tab, if you will. You can't count the money twice.


Think of the $1B RROD charge for MS like a $1B charge for PS3 Cell/hardware R&D.  They take a one time charge and do not average it out over the life of the console.
