What's more important here than just what the how 360 is profiting is how the Entertainment and Devices Devision has been a money hole for microsoft.
They have a cumulative loss of about 7 billion dollars now.
It seems Microsoft doesn't know how to run a vertically-integrated buisness model very well.

Not anymore. They can in all possibility make it all up in 4 years if they make a billion profit every 4 fiscal quarters. They all ready made back the billion from the RROD thing and now its all uphill.

Actually its just below 6 billion, dont know where u got 7 from. I wouldnt exactly point fingers as PS3 managed to loose more then 4 billion in two years time.
| Slimebeast said: Just $151 million profit for the Holidays quarter is a huge disappointment. The X360 should be at it's peak right now profit-wise. When does Sony release it's Gaming division numbers? |
Microsoft is spending TONS of money to advertise, research what the market wants, buy exclusive DLC, pay for games to be on 360, getting ZUNEs to sell and paying all the people who work for them.....and still they have a $151M PROFIT!
PREDICTIONS:
(Predicted on 5/31/11) END of 2011 Sales - Xbox 360 = 62M; PS3 = 59M; Wii = 97M

I got it from the Annual Reports on Microsofts site. I combined the figures here:
Profit Numbers: Nintendo, Sony (Game Segment) and Microsoft (EDD Segment)
