1223 was the loss in Q4 2007 (April-June 2007), 1969 was the loss for full year 2007 ( July 2006-June 2007).
MS has weird fiscals quarters...
In practice their Q4 2008 is identical to their Q4 2007 as Q4 2007 has a 1.1billion $ charge for warranty extension...
So what this shows is that whereas in the previous quarters they had made huge improvements year over year, they did not do so in Q4, probably because of the Others price cut, esp as I believe they sold more consoles in Others than in NA this last quarter....
This makes is unlikely we see a price cut in the future except the one taking place for clearance of the 20 Gb inventory.
Especially when you consider that last Holydays they had Halo 3 and they will be hard pressed to repeat the same feast with GoW2 ( because they won't get as much money per copy of GoW2 as they did per copy of Halo 3).
PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !
PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !
