Calm down.

Before commenting on revenue numbers you need to understand them..........

The reason of the loss is defered revenue and stock options based compensations.

They defered over 1 billion$ of revenue to later quarters...

Non GAAP results : 2.55 billions revenue, 655 million$ profit

Basically they incured the marketing costs for Cataclysm and Black Ops this quarter but defered most of the revenue for the following quarters.

This is the same reason every year why they loose money on the biggest quarter of the year but make a load of cash in Q1 and Q2 where they don't release any software.......

Beat me to it.
