Hello Ladies!

MS will release their financial report tomorrow after the US-market is closed. The timeframe is July - September.

For the EDD the following actions took place:

• Xbox 360 S worldwide available and for the whole Q1
• Halo Reach launched
• Marketing for Kinect and Windows phone 7 series started (slowly)

for MS as a whole it will be all about Windows 7 and Office 2010.

I predict 2.5 million Xbox 360s sold. What do you think?

3 - 3.5 mill shipped I estimate, hopefully not too dissapointed.

I think they'll make a profit. No KIN killer this Q, 3 months of very profitable HW selling, Reach. Marketing is $500 mill but I don't think that is one big chunk as it's spread out over the year, so I assume the cost will be too.
