Please note that there actual and assumed numbers. Assumed or projected numbers are indicated by a (*) beside it.
I will try to go into some detail and explain how the projected numbers came about. I didn’t do that in the previous thread, unlike my Sony threads. Then, I will compare to see how “accurate” the prediction was.
This was the previous thread:

Keep in mind that there is an inherent degree of difficulty predicting MSFTs EDD numbers, due to the fact that it was lumped with all other products.
Also, note that I actually did the MSFT projections before I did my Sony analysis (in my previous threads). Therefore the MSFT projections and analysis were actually done with less care. FYI.
However, in conclusion, I think you will see how the original prediction was quite close to the actual numbers that MSFT reported.
If any of you are a numbers geek, then let me know and ask nicely. I may even send you the Excel file. J Cheers and happy reading and analyzing.
