To quote you again: "He is talking about the last quarter? If so I believe it is true..."
So you think MS paid 2.5 billion USD in a Q, because R&D is done in 3 months at MS?
And at the same time Sony is doing PS4 R&D for a year.
Is that what you are saying?

If he is talking about MS posting all the R&D and marketing in a unique quarter... I belive it is true... I hold my words.
MS is not that transparent about that.
|
But when MS post all their R&D (2.5 billion according to you) in one Q and the Android patent royalties are spread over 4 Qs (4 x 625 Million [more or less with Q4 being higher due to holiday season, but you get the idea]), why isn't there a huge loss for the EDD in this one Q? Like 1.8 billion USD loss or something?

Not to mention MS has been getting Android patent $$$ for a lot longer than this year.
You're wasting your time.
