I'm guessing you missed the fact that this isn't only MS' gaming division... They don't provide a breakdown for that, so these numbers are wrong.

Xbox is an ecosystem pretty much (not just gaming) that helps the rest of their entertainment division to make money. Thanks to xbox, there is a lot of strong growth in areas like Mobile divison. Although it can be said about other divsions, most of xbox contributions reflect the entertainment division obviously. Music, Mobile, partners with netflix, ect. Capitalism pretty much states it doesn't matter where the money comes from as long as money is being made and xbox helps both directly and indirectly for the entertainment division.

Microsoft didn'thave an entertainment segment, they had "Entertainment & Devices", and that included Surface and more. Since then it has been moved into the segment that includes Windows, Surface and phones, so we know even less about how much money xbox is making. And of course this doesn't matter when looking at profits from the entire company as whole, but that's not what this thread is for. This thread is for looking at profits strictly from their gaming segments, and for Microsoft (and for some of the years for Sony) these numbers are wrong for that. There's no way to determine indirect profits from xbox or Playstation.
