I see Xbox Live from a platform perspective as the most critical asset we have. Spencer: Xbox Brand Is Iconic in Console Gaming, Which Is A Critical Customer Segment; XBL Is Our Most Critical Asset http://wccftech.com/spencer-xbox-brand-iconic-console-gaming/??? UPDATE 1-Sony sees profit nearing 20-year-old record with 73 pct jump this yearhttp://www.cnbc.com/2017/04/28/reuters-america-update-1-sony-sees-profit-nearing-20-year-old-record-with-73-pct-jump-this-year.html??? So, don't make me laugh... Do you even read the s*** you post? Directly from the increased Sony profit article. "Image sensors are now likely to be the biggest contributor to the profit growth, as operations at a factory damaged by earthquakes a year ago have returned to normal at a time when smartphone vendors are increasingly adopting dual-lens rear cameras in their handsets, requiring extra sensors." This has nothing to do with PlayStation. Also in that article it said Sony got out of the laptop market and reduced their TV market which is what was bleeding them dry. Facts. quote

Thanks for taking the time to read and try to comprehend both Sony links for the possible breakdown of that 500 billion...oh, you didn't... The Sony game division profits are actually responsible for most of Sony’s profits for the past year, totaling around 80 percent of the company’s net profit, around 73 billion yen. This is even before taxes, which many have predicted to be around 500 billion yen for Sony’s operating profits. Q: "I presume there will never be an Xbox One sold without it...Would that be correct?" A: "Correct. Xbox One is Kinect." Microsoft VP quote

You were trying to say there is some massive increase in revenue related to games when the article doesn't suggest that at all. quote

Sony gets like 600 million dollars a year from video game sales. Is that what you are trying to say? quote
