Microsoft FY End Jun 2007 and FY end Jun 2008 – A MORE THOROUGH ANALYSIS

[Ail]

Few mistakes you made :

1)You used NPD attach rates for software and accessories and applied it to consoles sold worldwide.
It's likely the attach rate is different in Others. ( NPD numbers are US only)

2) You suggest Microsoft was making 45$ per console end of 2007 and is now making 75$ per console. Very unlikely considering Microsoft did a 150$ price cut in Others in March and Others represented more than 50% of the hardware sales this last quarter...
If anything the last quarter results tend to indicate that the 360, in Others at least, might be sold at a loss...

And in the end any profit made on consoles sold in the US is washed out by the loss made on those sold in Europe resulting in hardware barely breaking even worldwide...
