Xbox Live doesn't actually make Microsoft money
« on: February 11, 2010, 09:40:59 PM »
According to Business Insider's Chart of the Day feature, Microsoft doesn't get much, if any, operating profit from Xbox 360 or Xbox Live.


The company's entertainment and devices division only just started making money again while the online services division remained a sinkhole. Most of the company's money still comes from Microsoft Word and Windows products. Incidentally, Windows 7 just surpassed Vista on Steam as PC gamers' operating system of choice (XP is still in the lead).

Coincidence how just as Microsoft dropped Live support for the old systems, the gaming division begins to report profits...
