| heruamon said: The thing is for all the people who look at these numbers, with no analysis, will try to spin some analysis when M$ post numbers for this quarter, and by that, I mean Windows 7 shipped and will really skew these numbers to the postive. What people don't realiuze is that for most of the Xbox lifetime, Vista has been a drag, along with Zune and Mobile, so as those product lines turn, so will EDD. I can imagine some serious howls, if EDD post an outrageous profit number. |
They have 3 quarters left, I think they can post a billion in profit for the financial year and after that I don't know. Its somewhat plausible they can break even on the Xbox 360 if they are able to maintain a decent rate of console sales without having to slash the price of the console too much. I.E. if Natal is a success.
Im kind of tired of doing analysis of the EDD but every single time the numbers point to Xbox 360 making up a large proportion of revenue but not its fair share of costs in the division.
Tease.
