- mckilljoy 17y agoConsider the life-time revenue and cost of the Xbox project starting before 2001. And don't forget that $1 billion written off for RRoD warranty repairs. Over this last decade, Xbox is still in a pretty deep hole, and even optimistic earnings mean it will take awhile before breaking even.
- Calamitous 17y ago"made" $375 million? Is that profit or revenue? One is very good, the other... not so much without a clear view of expenses.
- Encosia 17y agoMicrosoft's entertainment group's revenue was 2.9 billion.
- Calamitous 17y agoGood deal, thanks for the update. The parent's article wasn't terribly clear. :)
- mckilljoy 17y agoAlso, to be far, they don't actually separate Xbox earnings from, say, WinMo earnings. Xbox probably dominates, but it is hard to infer exactly how profitable they were.
- protomyth 17y agoIsn't that number kinda shady given the MacBU is under Entertainment and Devices?
