Xbox Platform Breakdowns
This is where most of the interest would be in VGChartz.
Though sadly, MSFT posts are so much less popular than Sony posts. L
Xbox Platform is as follows:
Xbox Console
Games
Accessories
Live
PC Games
Variance
I have to include PC games because when MSFT talks about revenues, it always lumps Xbox Platform and PC games.
For FY End Jun 2007
Xbox Platform Revenue = 4,084(*)
Where did I get this number?
Total Revenue: 6,083
Less:
Zune + Revenue: 1,368(*)
Mobile Revenue: 631(*)
Equals:
Xbox Platform Revenue = 4,084(*)
For FY End Jun 2008
MSFT mentioned that Xbox Platform and PC game revenue increased by $1.7 Billion or 41%
Those numbers are generally rounded up or down – that is, it won’t exactly be the same.
For all intents and purposes, I will use the $1.7 Billion as the figure I will work with.
Therefore
Xbox Platform Revenue = 5,784(*)
Then:
Zune+ and Mobile Revenue = 2,356(*)
(This number will be needed to calculate gross margins)
Total Revenue Check = 5,784(*) + 2,356(*) = 8,140 = ACTUAL MSFT REPORTED FIGURE
