You would think that would be the case--Xbox 360 team doing well, keep them on board, Zune is not doing well, cut numbers there. However, companies often do the opposite, cutting resources from where they are successful to reinvest in where they are doing poorly (see American automakers).
I really don't know why they keep investing in the Zune, other than MSFT thinks they have unlimited resources. The MP3 player market is contracting, iPod already dominates it. The music store model is becoming less interesting to control with DRM going to the wayside. They should just write off this group.
