No. You're confusing sales with profits. The Xbox division lost Microsoft over $3 Billion '03-'12. This has been covered extensively but see eg) http://www.neowin.net/news/report-microsofts-xbox-division-h...

Profit, other than perhaps hope of long-term profit derived from spending their competitors out of business, was certainly not their motivation
