When you get permabanned for your idiotic answer. You fully well know that the Kinect/Windows Phone marketing expenses (1billion) were CORPORATE MARKETING EXPENSES, and not edd marketing expenses. |
Microsofts CORPORATE MARKETING EXPENSES for the entire year and all products and services combined was 1.9 billion USD for the FY 2011, when Kinect and Windows Phone were released.
You think those two, relatively small products, accounted for 53% of the entire marketing budget of the whole company in 3 months?
This is how we got the 500 million figure. One poorly written and calculated article by the NY Post.
