Loss was $130M

Thats pretty much what I would have said, had you not said it first.

The EDD lost 68 million last quarter, so it is down 198 million so far this year.  I am sure the amateur financial analysts on this site will find the silver lining somewhere in that number.  I am not necessarily interested in reading that spin.  EDD has no impact on MS stock price, in fact analysts rarely mention it.  Microsoft is about the Server and Client divisions, everything else is a distraction.

I do find it interesting that Microsoft shipped 100k fewer consoles this quarter compared to the same quarter in 2008.  The reporting quarter in 2008 was pre-pricecut.  Does this suggest that the effects of Microsoft's pricecut are waning, or did they just stuff the channels in 2008?



Thanks for the input, Jeff.
