seece.... its about profit.

I honestly think ms will be happy wherever the 360 finishes now.

Saying that a price cut this year is a certainty and a very aggressive holiday in 2011.

Profits are good yes



The $4,966 figure is loss obviously.

I really think it should always be stated that this isn't just the xbox division, with everything else they have in  this division we have no real way to know how much the 360 has lost

 

Great results for microsoft though, best quarter ever

Thanks for pointing that out because so many here seem to think that EDD is just the xbox. Wake up.

The EDD profit IS NOT XBOX360 PROFIT. The EDD consist of PC games and online services,  Office, Windows Mobile and a whole lot of other stuff.

We have no idea of how much the x360 (and related items like kinect)  made on it's own and MS didn't say.

Great quarter result for MS regardless.

 

 

Wrong.

EDD consists of Xbox business in its entirety which includes Xbox Live. Other online services is in the online services division.

EDD consists of Windows Mobile which loses money (even before iPhone, Windows Mobile only had 1 profitable year)

EDD consists of the Marketing and Sales related expenses for retails sales of Office, Windows, etc.

EDD consists of other incubator products (not profitable) such as Microsoft Surface.
