| TheRealMafoo said: I don't count the first XBox. That we should just write off as a loss, and start over. If you feel you need to include previous gaming revenue, you would have to include PC gaming as well, and if you did that, they would already be out of the red, by tens of billions. So the answer is 1.5 billion. Thanks :) |
I would count Xbox as I think the question should be has MS made any money from its entry to console market? Obviously the answer is no. Even if only looking at 360 the answer is no and they're probably $1.5B to $2B away counting development costs for console, initial losses, etc.
Like I said though I think Xbox and the whole console division is what should really be looked at though as it represents their true entry to console market and their initial success with Halo franchise.
With Sony losses on PS3 to date and MS never having seen a dime in total you've got to admire Nintendo, those guys have turned nothing but a profit throughout I believe, and at the moment they're just raking it in.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
