This quarter should be roughly flat or slightly down compared to last quarter right?

Could be anything. MS NPD says they hit 80 this month, but that's within a quote talking about September. Which would mean they shipped 1.8m+ which is up YoY!

Don't put it past microsft to twist words tho, they could be adding the first couple weeks of shipments for October.

Good sign is it's unlikely they shipped that many in that period (if they're including it in the 80m figure) so shipments should be good.

Nice. Curious about the numbers.

well it depends what you are referring to?

General revenue amount and profit margin. 

 

@ Seece, that's true. Actually considering GTA V came out during this quarter they could be looking at a very slight bump in profits and revenue (again, very slight compared to the total amount they pull in).

in that case.  an increase is the forecast.

What's looking to be the cause of this possible increase in revenues and profits?

Kowen, I only keep yearly profit/losses on EDD, I know it's changing but do you know what the EDD did this Q last year? It's usually a decent profit if I remember.
