Actually that was Kinect and Windows Phone, and it was for an entire 12 month period. 

If Microsoft sold 24m Kinect, at $150 a pop, with $100 profit, then it made $2.4b.  If it sold 24m Kinect, at any price, with $50 profit, then it made $1.2b.

I'm sure, and I could be wrong, but they could have found somewhere in that $1.2b, $500m.  That still would have left $600m in the coffers.

So they spent $500m on marketing, but they made $600m in profit. 

I know what u mean, but one simple thig - MS make this 2.4 bln for Kinect, OK, well done, but where are games ? The whole complain is not about multimedia, but the lack games ! Cmon MS, push ur technology and services in Nextbox, no prob, but give us AAA titles like Sony did in past, current and future years.

Now is the best moment for MS. PS4 games showed at PS Meeting were not nuclear bomb at all, so they can show many amazing games and turn the things right way.

I dont care about social, about multimedia, I care only about games. Make games and I will not say a single one bad word.

 

Why Vita and Wii U selling so bad ? No gaemz my bro.Same happens to 360 in a few past years ( only Halo 4 ). Compare line up for 2013 for PS3 and Xbox 360. 

Do u remeber ,, PS3 has no games " gif ? No one used it for years.

the 500 million USD marketing budget for Kinect is an urban myth that was busted years ago, but the gaming community does not want to learn.

 

MS 1st party will be big next gen. Really big. Have a look:
