Seece said:
EDD operating income decreased reflecting lower revenue, payments made to Nokia related to joint strategic initiatives, and higher other operating expenses. Research and development expenses increased $100 million or 35%, and sales and marketing expenses increased $79 million or 50%, primarily reflecting higher headcount-related expenses. Cost of revenue decreased $80 million or 6% primarily due to lower volumes of Xbox 360 consoles and standalone Kinect sensors sold, offset in part by payments made to Nokia

Explains the losses

thanks. nice info.

In the past 2 years we had 0.925 million consoles in stores. Now we are at 1.89 million, with a new SKU launching the next week or 2. Very close to 1 million undertracked IMO. 800k - 900k is an educated guess.
