Forums - Microsoft - MICROSOFT: Q2Results - 3.9m ONE and 3.5m 360's. Qtr Rev up 14% !! to $24bn. Qtr profits up to $6.56bn. HUGE!

You were right all along about 360 (and PS3) cratering kowen. I wouldn't have believed it until I saw the figures for the holiday myself.

Shame really, I feel there is more MS could have done. But at this point install base is nothing but bragging rights.

Dont feel bad... nobody else believed me either

The fall next year will be huge.  50% at least for both I reckon.

Still stand by PS3 and 360 being much closer than we show. Wish Sony would give an updated LTD.

there is no doubt about that.  its certain.  If sont ever man up and show an end of quarter number for the PS3 it would help immensely.  Its almost as though they are waiting until they know for sure they are ahead befgore doing it in an officla financial release.

It's funny, PS3 trailed most of the gen, but they were open about sales. But when it got within spitting distince then they decide to obscure things? I think, they saw Nintendo do it briefly and though "Oh shit, we can do that?!"

But yeah, both 80m shipped, MS announced it 3 weeks before PS3.

I predict MS will make approximately a fucketload of money, definitely record revenue (Christmas quarter so high PC sales, surface 2 being well received, obviously xb1). Do we know if the new Nokia division will be included in this quarters results? If they are then I feel they might miss record profit (Nokia is still recovering) but still should be a good quarter for them.


People misunderstand this nokia deal so often

There will be no "nokia division".

Nokia is a separate company and will remain so, nothing to do with MS

Microsoft is merely buying he handset portion of the businss and it will be incoroprated into the MS devices and consumer division along with xbox, surface etc.  This has not yet happened. 

Ah k, thought it was like when google bought motorola which now sits as a separate division. Thanks for clarifying, record profit is likely then, unless the xb1 launch has cost them more than I think it has.



25% profit: revenue ratio madness

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Tagged, but im guessing this will be in headlines anyways.

Really only interested in X1 shipment numbers as they might show us if those 3mil sold through numbers given by MS were right (I suspect they are but alot of people are still doubting them), the rest will be business as usual: huge profits...

How great would it be if they started reporting software numbers, now it's on its own apart from Xbox there is a chance.

If they do it will only be 1st party and I think they might well as they have moved that into a segment away from the actual hardware.


If so I hope it's retroactive, I doubt it will be tho :(
