Report is out http://www.microsoft.com/investor/EarningsAndFinancials/Earnings/PressReleaseAndWebcast/FY15/Q2/default.aspx

 

6.6 million Xbox consoles sold.

Computing and Gaming Hardware Gross Margin $460 Million (2013 $411 Million)

Devices and Consumer Other Gross Margin $550 Million (2013 $387 Million)

12m LTD XB1 shipped imo.

360 will be around 2m

No way is the x1 near 12 million.

12 million shipped sounds accurate. They announced that they had basically shipped 10 million first week of November. They would continue to ship for holiday sales burst all of November into December.

No they said "SOON", and shipments go out long before so that would have included there holiday shipments. You dont ship and retailers get the inventory in the same week, by then that was there holiday shipment. Its not near 12.

It was first week of November. They didnt stop shipping the 2nd week of November.  By the time of that PR that was likely for expected November sales. They still had to fulfil expected December sales as well as have some stock on hand for January.
