Those numbers show how bad the price cut has hurt profits, but I guess without it things would of been worse. More OT - I expect a roughly Flat showing for the Y.O.Y numbers as even though the 360 is selling better this year, I cant see it doing as good this fall compared to last.

 

They had a huge increase in R+D (over 300M?) but please, I don't want to disturb your propaganda work over here.

Thanks for your valuable input...

Don't feed the troll. MS made probably a profit with the Xbox360 around 200 - 250 million (R&D for Zune HD, bad sales for office on mac and very bad sales for the already available zune are to blame)

But anyway: I really expect a slow 3-month-period for MS overall. It won't be up YoY, because there was GTA IV out last year. Windows sales might be not that high as well, because Windows 7 is around the corner. Who would buy Vista NOW with Windows 7 showing up?

Office sales might have been good, server-stuff as well. But overall I expect they will post mostly identical numbers like last time.

Of course, this is just some speculation. If I had any facts, you would see me without pants diving in Australia.
