starcraft said: If MrStickBall is even CLOSE to correct, Microsoft is going to have a VERY profitable quarter. Microsoft could clear $80 million revenue (their share of the game's retail price) this side of Christmas alone. |
2.5million Fable 2 = $100 million - $40 million for development advertising nets $60 million profit. (40x2.5-40)
At least a couple of million Live subscriptions get renewed/created in the holiday season. Lets say 2 million = $80 million.
~$300 million from software royalties *Total last software sold last year x 1.25 x 6.5*
So they should be pulling in from software/services alone at least $440,000,000
Tease.
