It amazes me that Microsoft continues its ventures in the video gaming industry, did they make any huge profit off of the first Xbox console? Last I recalled Microsoft was losing money. But I guess when you have billions of dollars it doesn't really matter, if only Atari had this type of luck before it went under in the mid 90s.
