2.8 Million. Impressive.

Great number :) grats MS and 360

Great numbers for MS , they are truly having a geat year which is about to get bigger.

I expect 2 million for PS3

It's actually 2.8 million apparently.

"EDD revenue increased primarily reflecting higher Xbox 360 platform revenue. Xbox 360 platform revenue grew $409 million or 33%, primarily reflecting increased volumes of Xbox 360 consoles sold and higher Xbox 360 video game revenue led by Halo Reach. We shipped 2.8 million Xbox 360 consoles during the first quarter of fiscal year 2011, compared with 2.1 million Xbox 360 consoles during the first quarter of fiscal year 2010. Halo Reach launched in September 2010 generating approximately $350 million of revenue during the quarter.
EDD operating income increased primarily reflecting revenue growth, offset in part by higher operating expenses. Cost of revenue increased $152 million or 19% primarily due to higher volumes of Xbox 360 consoles sold. Research and development expenses increased $65 million or 30%, primarily reflecting higher headcount-related expenses. Sales and marketing expenses increased $39 million or 27% due mainly to increased Xbox 360 platform marketing activities."

I'm guessing the 38% YOY growth is revenue directly from 360 and not the whole EDD.

Window saving their ass as always

That would put it exactly where vgchartz have sales for the quarter, though shipping can end up under or over for various reasons ofc.

Troll alert

vgchartz has 360 sales at 2.8 million for the quarter so..

So what's your conclusion?

I guess people just went in with the rage rather then read the actual press release. If they had they would of saw MS said that " Every business unit in the company showed sales growth, and revenues for the three months ended September 30 totaled $16.2 billion, up 25 percent from the prior year"

Meaning all sections are now doing well. So you can't say xyz saved its ass when they are all doing well. The games section "The Xbox division's operating profits were also affected by the aforementioned recasting. For the recently concluded quarter, Microsoft posted an divisional operating profit of $382 million,"

I would go into the rest but i can't be arsed.

To put that into some kind of perspective for the last 3 months MS made $5.41 BILLION in PROFIT. That is $1.8 Billion profit a month. Sony on the other hand on their previous results posted a profit of $210m. That is a huge difference in the amounts of profit each company makes.
