"Xbox Platform revenue increased $538 million or 58%"  and "Xbox Platform cost of revenue increased $623 million or 139%"

So the cost of revenue increase more than the reveue itself. Not good.

Well that's awkward...

OT: Glad to see that MS's cloud business is doing well

X1 shipment numbers aren't bad, but wasn't a good fraction of shipments geared towards Tier 2 countries and China?

It means that more they sell more money they lose.

No it means the costs associated with releases in more countries is expensive and not unexpected. Selling more would actually be better for them as many of those costs are fixed and hence don't reoccur with increased sales.
