I second this, where's that big old chart that was posted a while back ..

Damn, why you keep changing your avatar, its tough keeping up with who is who know a days

operating profit always increases when a new halo comes out.
operating profit also does not include the subtraction of taxes from the overall income.

I won't change my sig so that's how peopel are suppose to spot me

So did Microsoft say this themselves?

"the 360's installed base is now over 34 million units worldwide"

I dont remember anymore, but for what it's worth Sony has probably lost more with PS3 than MS has with the entire Xbox project (1 and 360). Or it should be close anyway.

The last two fiscal years (which end each June 30)the Xbox division profited 469m and 169m or around there. So about 650m profit. But remember before that they had a 1B write off just for RROD, so they haven't even made that back. They start off this fiscal year with a nice 312m profit now.

Then on the other hand theres no telling what is Xbox profit/loss and what is other products in the division either. My gut feeling is if anything Xbox profit is higher than division profit (in other words, rest of the division loses money).

yeah it seems that way,  it sounds like it may be slightly undertracked here

yeah ms said over 34 mil

Well, I do believe the number was close to $10B in the red for the Xbox and Xbox 360,  so I dont think it is as close as you think it is

Yeah.. looks lilke VGChartz is undertracking XBox 360 sales. Microsoft said they reached the 34 million mark back in August. Looks like VGChartz will need to make some adjustments for the undertracking.
