Like others have said they lump it in with the Entertainment and Devices division which is a bit of a pain. There is a chart I will post if I can find it detailing all the loses and profits since the Xbox launched.
178M$ in one quater ... with another 3 quaters to go + christmas M$ could be seeing profits of over 1 billion for the E&DD

I think that's a tad too high. A 25% increase from last year would land them below 750M$...

Think about the rate at which people are picking up Xbox 360's this christmas compared to last, think of all those live subscriptions, and the millions upon millions of more games being sold.
December 7th 2007 - 3,636,865 Games sold
December 5th 2008 - 5,418,421 Games sold
Wont the impending lawsuit hamper them a tad?

So if all the cash for R&D for the Surface thing came out of the Entertainment and Devices Devision the 360 must be doing better than we all thought to be able to fund that and still post a profitable year.

looking over this division, it would be nice if they broke it down further, to give a better idea of each ones... but they probably do this to shield poor performing and expensive R&D costs, so investors dont get itchy
