I assume this is effectively before tax profit by area. Interesting, I saw some discussion of how big Entertainment and Devices Division has become in terms of revenue, guess it is less profitable. Wonder if that is because they take a hit on the hardware upfront? Presumably the games console vendors walk a fine line between not wanting to release a must have upgrade, and wanting to release a must have upgrade if they subsidize hardware. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
