Raises questions of just how the next Xbox will be; if you were a top exec looking 'in' - surely the question of why the hell you spent so much money to still be making massive losses at the end of the systems life whilst Nintendo made huge amounts of money by being conservative in their spending?
Who has actually 'profited' once we take all the pesky inflation things into account, with this generation of consoles?
Why is no one talking about these statements, and blaming the loss on Skype, phones or whatever? I know they mention other reasons for the drop on income, but the revenue is pretty clear.

Doesn't that imply that the 360 was carrying the division in previous quarters? It's revenue dropped (due to less hardware sales) and could no longer cover the losses elsewhere.
So yes the xbox was the reason the revenue dropped, but not the reason they lost money. That's how I read it anyhow.
Shall be interesting to see if they can ship more this quarter. If not, things seem pretty bad.

Hardly, I think anyone that follows shipments agrees they're likely to ship less this Q, all this gen all 3 typically ship less in Apr - June than Jan - Mar.
I dont know if someone has created a thread on MS 4th quarter (Apr - Jun) results.. which are in
highlights:
- 1.1 M xbox Shipment
- Revenue increased but profit falls rather the division made a loss cuz of strategic Partnership with Nokia.
- Revenue increased cuz of Skype n XBOX Live membership
