Fun stats:
E&D division profit more this Q than it did for the entire of last fiscal year, massive gains.
MS has broken the $ 1 billion profit mark with only TWO Q's. The PS division has never posted higher than $950 million in any fiscal year since it began in 1995.
Lots of variables there, but it goes to show, MS E&D business model is one that is akin to a market leader.

Yep, it is like Nintendo and Microsoft are sharing leadership in terms of how to do business (ignoring the RROD years). In a recession no less.

Yeah, well with 3 Q's gone for Nintendo they're at $600 million, with 2 gone for MS they're at $1 billion, so unless something crazy happens from Jan- March, it looks like MS game division will make more than Nintendo.
|
Nintendo will be at 1 billion, and Microsft will most likely be at 1.5 billion at the end of each quarter. The problem with Nintendo right now is really outside their control and that is the Yen.

The ironic thing about that is that Sony posted a profit for the first half of the fiscal year despite being in the same boat as Nintendo in terms of the value of the yen. I think people will be surprised at the profit numbers that Sony posts in a few days.
