I LOVE paying for Xbox Live! I also love that my love for it pisses off so many people.

Around the Network

All that Money Microsoft is making, this company is strange as f***...

I mean Apple is like a Cool Company, once the mode goes out they are done, reminds me of blackberry.

Google is a crazy giant with no love for consumers, a ads company but will probably be the biggest dog in business in few years.

Microsoft is strange, they have been around forever, they make crazy selling products (Xbox, Kinect, Halo, Tools) but also crazy shitty products (Kin) and others that are good but flop (Zune).

Still they are allways around and somehow they allways lear something to turn things around, Windows 8 hasnt set the world on fire but im pretty sure once those great Windows 8 devices start coming and prices start going down thst we will se great sales.

Bring on the Financials, cant wait to see how new Office is doing.

So this then NPD? Good for MS I would suppose.



Anybody think that msft will release sales numbers of their revolutionary win8 ??



Around the Network

They will...

Windows 8, Xbox, Office they will show numbers.

Surface not likely.

WP maybe.



Prediction: 1.1m 360 shipped in this quarter.

That would be a lot I would say, considering VGchartz but I expect VGchartz to be wrong.

Probably.

I wonder if Google will tell us how Chrome OS is going? 

Pretty bad for Chrome OS and Google Cloud Service dont seen to be doing any good aswell, from Drive to Docs they only have something like 4% Share. Lets see in their financials but i doubt they will talk about that.

I Think the EPS estimates and Revenue is going to fall short with around 400m(21.1) for the Revenue.


Xboxs shipped will be locked at 900k give or take 50k


EDD profits will sit at the comfortable 250 to 350m


The Business division is going to get a healthy boost and the Windows division will likely get that too


Online services is going to inch a bit closer to black(I Think it's time for Bing to turn a profit in 2013)
