You clearly know nothing about how business works, i do, thats why i have a btec national diploma in business and finance and you don't, a company or division can be in the red but they are still making profit.
Let me explain it for you tormentos, A company can be in the red overall but if the amount of money they are making is greater than there operating costs and overheads then the company is considered to be IN profit
Profit (defintion)
'a financial gain, especially the difference between the amount earned and the amount spent in buying, operating, or producing something'
The xbox division at that time was Making more money than it cost to Produce or operate the 360 hence they where in profit..
just FOCUS on the Definition of PROFIT i posted and then think about what you said.
Firs of all save it,the xbox one loss 7+ billion dollars which MS hasn't make back period,analyst are accusing MS or hiding xbox losses with money won from Android patents,MS was accuse of doing the same with poor Surface sales and losses.
Look at it now MS claimed that they would make a small profit or brake even with the xbox one,now how do you think that will happen when Titanfall is been given free,Titanfall isn't a MS owned game is a Respawn game publish by EA,so every bundle MS sold with it,money goes into EA and Respawn pockets and while i am sure $60 will not be a cool $20 or $25 per unit will be,add that MS has been advertising this game probably in what can be consider as an Halo scale advertisement campaign how much money do you think they are making now per unit.? Oh and that doesn't include the 30 pound drop in price in UK,remember UK earning are convert to dollars when they come back to MS,so a 70+ pound deal MS is offering in UK is a nasty $100 + when your translate that back to dollars.
So i think is this very moment MS is actually losing money on the xbox one.
Are you really that blind? i was actually replying to another guy who said the xbox division had never been in Profit, they clearly have by the very DEFINITION of the WORD so i was right and you just jump in both feet first without even a clue as to what we where debating about.
Let me run it down, other guy stated Xbox division had never made a profit, By the very definition, it has, i proved him wrong, end of subject.
We where discussing whether the xbox division had ever made a profit, it has, had nothing to do with the xbone.
On that point, can you prove MS are hiding the numbers? the answer to that is no so basically you are just speculating.
Yet again tormentos, you owned absolutely NOBODY.
