For the full 2009 fiscal year, the Entertainment & Device Division revenue dropped 6% to $7.7 billion. Profit decreased 66% to $169 million (still positive, but a sharp decrease from last year).
For Q4 only, EDD revenues fell by 25 % to $1.19bn. Profit was in the negative with losses at $130 million for the quarter.
So to sum up, EDD was profitable for the full fiscal year but unprofitable in Q4. Microsoft sold more Xbox 360s this year than last year (11.2 vs 8.7), but sold less in Q4 2009 than in Q4 2008 (1.2 vs 1.3).

I hate how Edge doesn't link to the official report.

Has Microsoft made any Xbox 360 forecasts for the entire fiscal year? I know that Nintendo and Sony have, but I haven't seen anything from Microsoft.
