If MS continues and sells another 20 Million consoles this generation, then they will re-coup their investment.
2009-2012 = 4 years. 20M/4 = 5 million units/year required to hit this target.
Remembering most consoles sales occur when the price is lower i would say MS should make a profit this generation.
