It doesn't matter that only Office and Windows are making money. Do you realize the margins they're pulling? Microsoft AS A WHOLE is still making money. And a lot of it.

Microsoft has already said they're planning on <b>losing up to two BILLION dollars on Xbox</b>. They're going to spend $500 MILLION on advertising alone. And this is USD, my friend. That's a <b>LOT</b> of money.

I think you underestimate the power of the dollar. You know that lame old saying, "Money talks and bullshit walks"? Well, it's true.

Xbox isn't going anywhere. Microsoft has the money and the muscle to make sure it succeeds.
