After reading the reports on Nvidia's recent stock drop and profitability problems I think it's funny to note that the one division that did report a decent profit was the Xbox sales, compared to all their other divisions most of which posted a loss. Especially when you consider how Nvidia has chronically complained about making price cuts on their Xbox chips in order to aid the price drops.
So with some quick math you find that with $456 million in sales, $85 million of which were from the Xbox, they are making almost 20% of their sales from Xbox GPU's alone (18.6% actually). I think Nvidia might be regretting the fact that they pissed off MS so much and they won't be getting the contract to make Xbox 2 chips.
