very good numbers but why did they ship 600k 360s in a few weeks? isn't that very unusual for the first october weeks?

Knew they would twist their words -_-

I guess it's in prep for the holiday season, they're gonna be shipping 4m~ so 600k isn't that much.

€dit: ahh you meant microsoft twisted the words?

it is for the FIRST two weeks of October.

hell of a lot... hmmm?  Price cut for holidays perhaps?

Nope, they've release their holiday bundle prices (and they're awful).

For sure PS3 has shipped more than 360 now.



 

Impressive numbers as usual from MS. Good to see that despite the declining PC sales and the doom sayers the company is still growing and as usual making killer profits, which means more great software and more innovations in hardware.

Interested to see how the new surfaces will do and how the new Windows phones by Nokia will preform also.



1.2 million... how much does VGC have reported for the same period?



84mill by year end, 85m if they cut price, but they seem intent on not doing that.

No, pretty much in line with expectations. They shipped 30% less in quarter 1 and probably plan to ship >30% less in quarter 2 (given XBox One will eat heavily into the XMas numbers), so from 6M to 4M. 4M in twelve weeks is around 350k/week.

600K

All dat money dough!



It's just that simple.

Great numbers and what's even better, surface and windows phone revenue growing! The investments are starting to pay of!



Great job on the Commercial level for MS.
