Just saying Xbox 360 was profitable since 2008. Kinect gave a nice boost too. Don’t ask me how I know, I just remember. |
Talking in total man, the profit after 2008 (if existed, because MS at the time revealed the profit and loss for the department and that had more than Xbox right?) didn't offset all the loss of the previous year. At least from the numbers we had access both PS3 and X360 lost plenty of money although it was the best gen in total, we had Xbox very strong with great games, Wii if a unique proposition and I enjoyed several games and PS3 even with all the flaws had great games... sure when looking at a single system for me no gen had better games on a single platform than PS4 (sure PS2 had more variety and all, but well I like new stuff =p).
And this gen despise X1 selling much less than X360 it certainly made much more money (unfortunately MS doesn't give data that is only Xbox =[) and PS4 was the best profit Sony made on gaming ever. They should greatly thank MS on showing then that paying for MP would be a gold mine (for as much as I hate they doing it and not even playing MP).
