The thing is, I thought they were going to try to make a profit this gen...... what ever happened to that strategy?

And that's the only thing I need is *this*. I don't need this or this. Just this PS4... And this gaming PC. - The PS4 and the Gaming PC and that's all I need... And this Xbox 360. - The PS4, the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360, and that's all I need... And these PS3's. - The PS4, and these PS3's, and the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360...

I need this. - The Gaming PC and PS4, and Xbox 360, and thePS3's . Well what are you looking at? What do you think I'm some kind of a jerk or something! - And this. That's all I need.

that's one of the BS threads I read earlier. I don't need to know details, just if they profited or not. I think the gaming division made a loss, but MS as whole made a big profit (from when I read it)

There's also a news story on the same thing.

They lost 188 million.

Trufax.

They lost 188 mil the last quarter but they made over 400 million for the year I believe.

TheSource says:
Last 3 months - loss. But for the year ending June 30 they made like $400,000,000. You have to remember though that it includes things like Zune as well.
Posted on: 07/17/08, 22:17

The last 3 months according to the chart say -188 while the entire year says 426. (Measured in millions obviously)
