I'm not sure what "liberties" I'm taking, since M$'s EDD posted more profit last year? Are you talking about life-to-date for the Xbox project, or life-to-date for the division? Most business plans are forward looking, and sure, the past matters, but the future is far more important. So, you can deliver and beat estimates, but if the current forecast falls short of expectation...you're going to get sunk. Looking forward, I think this holiday season is going to top last year's by a signifigant margin, putting EDD future into the green column...M$ projects for only 4% growth, which I'm sure they have far mroe expertise in estimating, but that means more profits to the bottomline.

Douchebaggery at its finest.
Seriously, do you even know what kind of person bill gates is? Sure his company may not be on everyone's top 10 likeable companies of the world list, but the man himself is likeable. When was the last time you heard of anyone at Sony being so generous with their own money (I said Sony because you're obviously a Sony fanboy) or doing anything good for humanity outside of the companies on charity work. Gates does his charity work as Bill Gates and not as Microsoft (though they, like most companies, do charity aswell).
Whilst I'm not a fan of MS, Gates is a pretty decent guy. Good for him, and it's good to see a nerd back on top of the rich list

You do know that Microsoft has many more divisions then just gaming right? And you also know that Bill Gates doesn't do anything for Microsoft anymore? So why would Sony care if Microsoft is making money, we all know it's not coming from it's games division.

I believe he needs to be banned, as I was when I said someone should die.

As the largest Shareholder...he's got EVERYTHING to do with the company. Also, btw, it's the sony fanboys who are always trying to compare Sony to M$ on a corporate level, which is riddiculous, since M$ is in a large far outside of sony's scope.
