The one unit within Microsoft that you can truly call a winner is Xbox.

Apparently not everyone would agree with you on this. About all I've heard over the past few years is how Xbox is a big financial drain on Microsoft...

That could be, but I think MS is taking the long view. As the Forbes article suggests, this is a way to make the Xbox the hub of the home entertainment market. Time will tell if they can pull off what Sony failed to do.

Sony only failed to do so with the PS3 because the other stupid parts of Sony, the Music and Movie side, got in the way of their new tech as per usual. If you remember the early demos and interviews they wanted it to be a full HTPC, but the MAFIAA perts of Sony made sure nothing interesting could come from the computer entertainment part of the company.
