Woah woah woah, hold your horses. First, who are sonty?

Secondly, I was just going by the widely reported $500 million figure there, i.e. the one I saw published in every news article about Kinect around release. I have not looked further into the issue than that at all, I'm not denying or spouting rubbish at all, I just thought that was the reality of things.

I'd be very interested in seeing those 'account' figures, because I've never seen them brought up before, and would like to get a figure for their marketing expenditure. Thanks!

I think Kowensky knows that. He just assumes everyone reads Microsofts financial data reports.

 

Hah, it's true it's asking a bit much, but I suppose it pays to be properly informed. I'm still waiting for the source though :) 

 

what do you think i am?

its public domain, find it yourself.

OK well, I looked at the Microsoft fiscal year 2011 annual report, and they said that in the EDD Division " Sales and marketing expenses grew $90 million or 12% primarily reflecting increased Xbox 360 platform marketing activities. " Which would indicate that the total amount is $750 million? Am I missing something?
