8.2M shipped 360s

18M install base Kinect

$4.24B revenue (up 15% YoY)

$528M profit in E and D

8.2m is great for X360 this Q, 18m shipped (not install base, they use the same lingo for 360 66m) is okay for Kinect, expected a little more at this point.

$528m profit is very poor imo, down yoy.


very poor....?  dont you start.

it ISNT JUST xbox... remember that.  Lots of spend on marketing windows mobile... the link up with Nokia, skype... etc etc. 

360 revenue is up...so  you can bet their profits were up on the 360 and associated too.

I just expected them to balance it a bit better, all those extra 360's sold and profit is still down. I hope they think Windows Phone is worth it!

Regardless of all that, this has been a great quater overall for Microsoft and EDD, you can't sniff at making a profit these days, no matter how much it is.
