so it means if PS3 was shipped more than 7.3M in Q4, PS3 will be 100% shipped more than XBOX360.

It would be odd to mention that kind of thing in an earnings release.  Ballmer used decidedly open language so I'm assuming it's probably too close for them to call in a big way - at least on current numbers known anyway.  We'll see if at a more PR orientated event they mention it again but I suspect they might not.

I don't remember Sony or Nintendo responding to MS original claims earlier in the year they'd be number 1 WW so I doubt they'll respond now either way.

US attach ratio went from 8.9 to 9.1 over christmas

Very well done MS!

That's some proper revenue & profit once again

Record revenue driven by strong console sales
8.2M consoles sold, up 27% Y/Y
40M Xbox LIVE subscribers, up 33% Y/Y
Kinect installed base now at 18M units
Nokia Windows Phones launched in Europe & Asia
Skype now has over 200M active users

EDD revenue increased primarily reflecting higher Xbox 360 platform revenue as well as Skype revenue from the date of acquisition. Xbox 360 platform revenue grew $322 million or 9%, led by increased volumes of Xbox 360 consoles sold and higher Xbox LIVE revenue, offset in part by lower volumes of standalone Kinect sensors sold. We shipped 8.2 million Xbox 360 consoles during the second quarter of fiscal year 2012, compared with 6.3 million Xbox 360 consoles during the second quarter of fiscal year 2011.

EDD operating income decreased reflecting higher operating expenses, offset in part by revenue growth. Cost of revenue grew $461 million or 19% primarily due to higher volumes of Xbox 360 consoles sold, payments made to Nokia related to joint strategic initiatives, Skype cost of revenue, and higher royalty costs resulting from an increase in Xbox LIVE digital marketplace third-party content sold. Research and development expenses increased $101 million or 37%, primarily reflecting higher headcount-related expenses, including Skype headcount. Sales and marketing expenses increased $94 million or 27%, primarily reflecting higher headcount-related expenses, including Skype headcount, and amortization of acquired Skype intangibles.

how can they still ship 200k+ in Jan if you know...huh,that happened

wow some people look real dumb now, attacking and making fun of another user, when in fact he was right.
