What was their profit last quarter? $150 million or so?
I'll go for $200 million this quarter. Last quarter only had one week of Halo 3 and they're probably profiting on each console sold at this point, and they sold quite a few consoles this quarter. Really, that's pretty impressive considering that it's highly unlikely any other segment of the H&E division is making money (like the Zune). |
Actually, the Zune has been sold out at several places, and not just in my neck of the woods. I know a guy told me he had to go to 3 stores before finding a 30gb Zune. Dunno if M$ did it to create demand, but even online Zunes were hard to find around the holidays. |
Weren't they blowing out the 30GB models for $99 or something like that? |
That was right after Black Friday. After those stocks got cleared out and prices went up, folks were still buying them. Coming from someone who repairs MP3 players, the Zune is a sweet player. It's got a much bigger screen than the iPod and has built-in wifi ...
OT - I think folks are still downing MS's past loss - and don't want to imagine them profiting in the H&E division. If it's profitable, and I believe it is, MS is starting to turn the corner.
