umm where are people getting the 1.5 billion in total losses from.

M$'s FY06 = 1.28 billion in losses. ( Thats 1st July 2005 - 31st June 2006)
M$'s FY07 = 1.89 billion in losses ( 1st july 2006 - 31st June 2007)
M$'s FY08(Q1-Q3) = approx 550 million in profit.

360 wasn't released till Q2 FY06. So Q1 profit / loss should count towards the Xbox not the 360.
M$ FY06 Q1 = 141 million in losses.

So M$'s losses on 360 in FY06 was 1.14 billion.
FY06 + FY07 losses = 3.03 billion.
(3.03 billion) + 0.55 = 2.48 billion.

Therefore Microsoft is 2.48 billion in the red on 360.

 

That doesn't include development costs does it? (those would have been before FY06)
