shanbcn said: Did 360 lose $339m? This is huge loss for an quarter. "Overall Xbox 360 accounted for around a third of Entertainment & Devices’ $1.6bn revenue for the period, though that was not enough to stop the business unit posting a loss of $339m. In the sale period in 2011 it reported profits of $210m." http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/xbox-360-sales-fall-by-50-in-q1/094780 |
They have the wrong numbers. EDD lost 229 million USD
And as explained by Microsoft:
The losses came from Windows Phone 7 and R&D.
+ 100 Million for R&D (Xbox 3!)
+ 250 Million for Nokia
+ 75 marketing expenses (Windows phone 7)
There you have 425 million USD. So you are looking at a >200 million profit of the Xbox 360 in the past 3 months.
Imagine not having GamePass on your console...
