They are still losing money on the Xbox itself, but with the sales of Halo2 the Games Division finally turned a profit. Don't forget, the games division handles all the PC games too. Gates bundled all the PC games, Console, Console Games, and Console Hardware into the same division in the hopes of offsetting the losses of the Xbox.

One problem I forsee with this is now that EA has signed up for Live, MS has dropped many of their sports titles. I am not sure how much of a money maker these were for Xbox, but they have lost that income now.
