Microsoft's
X-Factor: Profitability
We've been working
very hard to build a business that can sustain itself.
Certainly Xbox making money helps, but there are other
businesses that are now starting to contribute
positively.

EA
bid expires, but talks ongoing
The
video game maker let its $2 bil takeover offer
for rival Take-Two Interactive (TTWO) expire,
but the 2 companies are still in talks.
Electronic Arts (ERTS) said it needs to reassess
its $25.74-a-share offer, since it's too late to
combine the firms before the key holiday season.
The companies have been unable to agree on a
price for the past 6 months. Take-Two plans to
present EA with its 3-year product release
schedule, financial projections and other
nonpublic information to support its claims of
what the company is worth. EA shares fell 1% to
47.76. Take-Two slid 4.4% to
23.75.
