The original question: "When do you think Xbox will be able to contribute a billion dollars to Microsoft's bottom line, and how?" He's talking about XBox specifically, and still saying "next year." I could have sworn they were supposed to be profitable THIS year. And btw, if they do acheive profitability anytime soon, it will be because they hold off on a price cut because of poor PS3 sales.
"[Our former customers] are unable to find software which they WANT to play."
"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."
