That's awesome, for both. I know some of you guys think that we should move on already from 360 to Xbox One, but I love how the old thing is still putting up a good fight.

Agreed! Would you like to see exclusives for the 360 to be shown at E3? If so, have any requests? I'm replaying many old 360 games, so I'm not ready to put her away yet.

Microsoft Cloud Momentum Helps Drive Third-Quarter Results

Revenue growth across segments and cost discipline drive earnings per share of $0.68.

 

REDMOND, Wash. — April 24, 2014 — Microsoft Corp. today announced revenue of $20.40 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. Gross margin, operating income, net income, and diluted earnings per share for the quarter were $14.46 billion, $6.97 billion, $5.66 billion, and $0.68 per share, respectively.

The following table reconciles our financial results reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) to non-GAAP financial results for the prior year. We have provided this non-GAAP financial information to aid investors in better understanding the company’s performance. Management commentary regarding performance and growth refers to non-GAAP financial results.

 

 


“This quarter’s results demonstrate the strength of our business, as well as the opportunities we see in a mobile-first, cloud-first world. We are making good progress in our consumer services like Bing and Office 365 Home, and our commercial customers continue to embrace our cloud solutions. Both position us well for long-term growth,” said Satya Nadella, chief executive officer at Microsoft. “We are focused on executing rapidly and delivering bold, innovative products that people love to use.”

“We delivered solid, broad-based financial results driven by strong execution and continued cost discipline,” said Amy Hood, executive vice president and chief financial officer at Microsoft. “We are focusing our resources to drive growth and long-term shareholder value.”

Devices and Consumer revenue grew 12% to $8.30 billion.

 

·         Windows OEM revenue grew 4%, driven by strong 19% growth in Windows OEM Pro revenue.

 

·         Office 365 Home now has 4.4 million subscribers, adding nearly 1 million subscribers in just three months.

 

·         Microsoft sold in 2.0 million Xbox console units, including 1.2 million Xbox One consoles.

 

·         Surface revenue grew over 50% to approximately $500 million.

 

·         Bing U.S. search share grew to 18.6% and search advertising revenue grew 38%.

 

Commercial revenue grew 7% to $12.23 billion.

 

·         Office 365 revenue grew over 100%, and commercial seats nearly doubled, demonstrating strong enterprise momentum for Microsoft’s cloud productivity solutions.

 

·         Azure revenue grew over 150%, and the company has announced more than 40 new features that make the Azure platform more attractive to cloud application developers.  

·         Windows volume licensing revenue grew 11%, as business customers continue to make Windows their platform of choice.

 

·         Lync, SharePoint, and Exchange, our productivity server offerings, collectively grew double-digits.

“Our products and services continue to deliver differentiated business value to our customers, and we continue to win share in areas like cloud services, data platform, and infrastructure management,” said Kevin Turner, chief operating officer at Microsoft. “Our SQL Server business grew double-digits again this quarter, and with the announcements of SQL 2014 and Power BI for Office 365, we offer a unique, comprehensive, end-to-end data and analytics solution.”
