Did people not know before??  Amazing - I'm more enlightened than I thought I was as I knew they did YEARS ago!

On topic, in light of recent adjustments to the numbers here, I'm suddenly interested to see how they jibe with Microsoft's 360 shipping numbers.

I wish there was more detail on the Entertainment division though, the current system is an overview number, not really breaking it down into all categories.  Oh well.



Interesting! Kinect comes and saves the day.

2010 3 months to Dec 31st EAD  (2009 in brackets)

Revenue for the quarter  $3.7bn   ($2,3bn)

profit for the quarter $679m     ($365m)

WOW!

with 2 Q's to go, if they keep on a steady pace they could see over $1.5 billion profit for E&D divison. Likely higher than Nintendo and PS division.



 

Given the massive losses associated with the launch of WinPhone7, the xbox subcomponent was probably near $1B profit for the quarter.

And what does it need to crack 50 million lifetime Dec 31?

6.3 mill sounds low...
