Nope

MSFT's gaming divison has bled ink since '04 or something.  They're finally 
expected to turn a profit this year, but I highly doubt it makes up for the 
losses in the previous years.

But then again I have yet to meet anyone with a half a brain who didn't think 
that losing a huge chunk of change for a significant portion of the gaming 
industry wasn't worth it, heh.  I personally think its very worth it.
