It will be interesting to see the impact of Kinect development costs and if that puts them back in the red (along with Windows Phone 7).



So you think Kinect development cost all happened during last quarter?    That must be the quickest development of a product ever!  3 months from conception to release. 

Kinect development costs will have been mostly accounted for previously.... from here on its marketing costs.

And you base this on what, besides pulling it out of your A@$.

well, in fairness you're pulling info out of your ass as well

All I said is it will be interesting to see the impact of Kinect on profitability.  Since I didn't make any claims, I'm not sure what you are referring to.

What do you mean by development costs? Costs of the HW or conception to release?

The costs of producing the hardware, the cost of testing the hardware, the cost of fixing bugs, etc.  Marketing costs will also have an impact on this quarter, but to say those will be the only costs is not realistic.
