From what I recall the revenue was down (5%) on the back of slighly less consoles sold but offset to an extent due due to an increase in xbox live subscriptions (Xbox Live monthly active users grew 21% to 47 million). Not a terrible result by any standards.  Remember, this is not MS' bread and butter and is more than sustained or offset by incredible revenue and profits elsewhere in its business.  MS remain committed to gaming as part of its broader strategy hence the attactive deals thay are prepared to offer. Simply they can afford it.  Growth appears to be the plan here..

Is this the rainbows and flowers take on the financial report? Call me stupid but selling less consoles on the back of crazy fire sales and the launch of a new revision isn't great news. Subs have also gone down 2M since last report.

Theirrevenue went down. They didn't really specify on sales. For all we know there could have been for xboxes sold but because of the crazy deals like the $250 in July they made less money.
