>>And yes, this does mean that Microsoft's profits are approximately 10 times that of Sony (which was approximately 1.5 billion last year). That's why I've said, on many occasions, that Sony can't win a spending war against Microsoft.<<

I'm not totally convinced of Microsoft's bottomless pit of money.

The 5-6 billion they lost so far was investors money (could have been dividends instead). An if MS falls into 3rd place this generation, they shareholders may say these losses aren't worth it.

All this Peter Moore talk in the Newsweek article saying they will become profitable sounds sneakingly familiar to the claims that there were no widespread problems with the 360.... look where that went.

I might sound down on MS in this, but I think the reality is is they are eventually susceptible to the same demands of any corporation...

Good luck to them in any case!

Who said Microsoft's pockets were bottomless? They're just profoundly deeper than Sony's, and both are losing billions right now.
