So what's everyone's predictions here?

MS for the last 3 quarters has shipped 10M, and in 2011, they shipped 11M the whole year.
For sold, they sold 11M in 2011 and 2012 according to vgc.

So, I think EDD will likely have better profits, and smaller overhead.
I'm going to guess that EDD increased it's profits by 500M-1B

Compared to the same quarter last year?

Id fully expect reduced revenue and a loss....  Revenue will be down due to slightly lower sales and lower overall price point.  Profit will be down quite a bit due to R&D ramping up for nextbox.   

I suspect the new tablets will also fall into this division, the costs associated with that venture will also be felt too, obviously there is no revenue for that yet given they haven't launched.

Whats your rationale for increases?

lowered cost of hardware on all sides, increased Live revenue, less development on kinect games (not like a rollout for launch) similar kinect sales, etc

EDIT: I didn't factor in R&D, but I can't expect it to be significantly higher than a couple hundred mil, if that.
