Forums - Microsoft Discussion - MICROSOFT: Q2Results - 3.9m ONE and 3.5m 360's. Qtr Rev up 14% !! to $24bn. Qtr profits up to $6.56bn. HUGE!

Anyway. Those are some brilliant numbers for Xbox. Almost 4 Million for One is great and the 360, despite posting its lowest numbers since launch, is hanging on in.

Search advertising revenue up 34% sounds impressive to me.
Xbox Live transactional revenue up >25%!



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

Where is the bulk of the profit coming from? I'm very ignorant on this matter.



 

                          

 

2m+ 360's on shelves? I don't think so.

Three main cash cows used to be Server & Tools (SQL, Azure, .NET framework), Office and Windows.
Now the whole organisation has been changed so these products are in different divisions now, but they are still the most profitable ones.

The EDD (Xbox, Surface, WinPhone) was posting healthy profits as well, just not as big as the ones I mentioned. Bing used to be the only not-profitable business, but it started to move in the right direction.

82.9 Million 360's shipped yes?



                            

So 3mil sold to customers wasn't a lie, I guess that discussion can end now. Also, seriously MS? You have 900k X1s on shelves by the end of 2013 and still won't announce a release date for new countries? What are you thinking?



Holiday quarter always has over ship issues it's the quarter ending 31st March were we get to see if it is selling or not.



2m 360 on the shelves orrrrrr they really undertracked it in Europe/rest of da world
