How much money do you think the 360 made from Live Subscriptions alone?

That's not particularly relevant. You claimed that xbox 360 was overall more profitable than the PS3. Do you have any official source that supports that claim?

Anyway, if I have to make a guess, I think Gold Subs overall brought slightly less than 10bln $ revenues for the whole gen.

https://www.vg247.com/2013/01/07/xbox-360-and-ps3-losses-total-8-billion-ex-sony-employee-paints-grim-future/

"Microsoft has spent some $2.996bn on Xbox 360 since it launched in 2005, while Sony has fared worse, spending $4.951 billion on PS3. Both figures are a loss"

MS wont stat how much money they made off subs but you probably are not far off from the park. There 360 losses was made up with subs, where as the PS3 did not make up its losses with subs as it didn't have any. Take into account that the 360 also sold more overall software than the PS3 selling 1,008.03b to the PS3's 974.81m. Also we have the success of Kinect breaking records as the most fastest selling electronic device etc. If you take all that into account its not really rocket science to work out who made (or lost) more money last gen.
