ah they are finally coming over.... you just had to bate them better kowenicki .... you are an amateur hunter dude... :P

anyway can't wait to see your updates..... we'll be able to compare with sony :D

link??? it's so small... lol

I'm not happy until they make 20 Billion dollars in profits! (Am I sounding like an investor yet?)

not really since you have to take in account investment.... which could be better than net profit after investments....
also MS is appreciated because they pay out dividends....
financial investment is not only about profit... it's way more about business management, long term investment, assets and equity valuation, development, innovation etc.... if it was just about profit many companies would have a way lower market cap....

Are there any predictions for the profit?

*Dr. evil voice* a hundred billion dollars *pinky finger up*

no seriously no idea.... didn't really track anything on Ms investment for win8 and WP8.... but I'd say around 20billion+ maybe I am totally off though....

Will be interesting to see how well they did YoY in the entertainment section. Consoles expected to be down but phones will probably be up.

Consoles+ games+XBL= Instant profit.

Nintendo and Sony are not in a position to say that. I believe...

Yes, but this is about MS. Nintendo and Sony will have their own topics later.

True but inevitably, they have to be compared to we are to extrapolate profits/sales because they all share the same market.
