Forums - Microsoft - Microsoft Results FY2012 Qtr3. 1.4m shipped (67.2m)

Turkish said:
Loss $229 million, I thought they were making a great profit?


3 reasons:

They sell xbox 360 at a loss
Nextbox development
windows phone


yeah the lower the 360 shipments the higher the loss. That must mean that the 360 costs MS money.... or rather quite the opposite actually.
The 360 was profitable even before they released the slim.

Be quiet man pig, there are many opinions I agree with here, the ones I don't are Turkish and Source, which everyone else seems to be blasting as well for being BS.

I honestlty think you are having a laugh now....

can you explain the shipments of 2012 v 2011 (fiscal years)?  they are up for christ sake!!

Is it, 360 was selling the same as the previous year, overshipped in holiday and so lowered shipments in jan?

Cuz that's what it looks like, to me anyway.


and what will happen if they ship 1.8m next qtr?

It would mean that aside from overshipping in holiday, the sales is consistent from year to year, right? Possibly reaching 1.8 to cap it off as their best year, as well as put enough units on the shelves for a price drop...



Those are quite good numbers, considering what we were expecting.

Where is it undertracked then? Anyone got any data from areas outside the US?

While I disagree with source too, I think you guys are making him feel bad.

Most we can know is from Nintendo's release next week.

If anywhere, it's probably either emerging markets or an earlier price drop than expected.



At least this thread reminds me little of the golden days of console warring during 07/08/09. Damn the forums were lively during those days.



Wow nice stock raise too.

My brother bought MS stock a while ago, loves it based off dividends alone, definitely seems like a safe investment.

Back to 360, I still don't like the idea of almost a million consoles in the past year alone being sold to areas vgchartz has no access to at all - hopefully it's undertracked elsewhere.



And with that dies the whole "PS3 won 2011" thing once and for all.
