Gribb isn't entirely off-base, though. Sony's financial report showed that the Playstation business is profitable. Microsoft's quarterly report revealed that gaming revenue was down YOY as well as hardware revenue. The latter, especially, had a big drop (down 26% YOY) despite the XBOS's launch. |
I know it and i'm so satisfied by that! Not just selling more than PS3 but also profiting a lot unlike PS3 which was a financial disaster... That's awesome!
As regards MS, xbox division it's the least significant division of MS...
They make insane amount of money every quarter! For example they're going to drown from the profits of the expensive/overpriced well-selling surface book.
Of course, it would be better to make profit on hardware, losses are not a good thing and disgruntle investors but MS isn't relying on xbox... Also, I don't like the fact that they have burnt so many money on xbox division but they they can easily afford to do that, hence they care more for the installbase size/commercial success, and profiting on software/online subscription by extend.
They can sell it for 150 if they want and they won't get in trouble, but of course that wouldn't be wise move for obvious reasons...
If xbox had become MS biggest division, and they would rely on it, then they would be under pressure to make profit on hardware...
@normachacho this reply is also for you...
P.S
I'm not an xbox fan, so some people may not like to argue with a non xbox fan who's defending it... eh?
