That's a really stupid thing to say. You think executives, or especially stockholders don't care about these things?

You clearly dont understand loss leaders, synergies and cross fertilisation of product brands. But thats fine.

That is only true as long as you don't have a (growing) group of influential stockholders having a different opinion. As long as Gates/Ballmer/Allen were fully behind their latest pet, all attempts at stockholder meetings to shut doen XBox (and those have existed since day 1) were shot down with a 99% "no" vote. That is no longer the case, and XBox can no longer just throw money around as they wish.

If I remember correctly MS said they weren't taking a loss and breaking even on each console sold and Sony said one game sale made them break even for each console.
