10.5m lumias sold.

decent

Up or down yoy? Total for the year so far? Total expected for the fiscal year?

Same quarter last year was 8.2m

Nice, very impressive given no new flagship.

I can see a day when they're doing over 50m Lumia SP a year.

So 7.4 million Xbox consoles sold 4th quarter 2013 and 6.6 million 4th quarter 2014 a 800,000 unit drop.



I am guessing this thread will die fast since these are some great results overall for MS and XBox :).

and what did I say about cloud.....

huge!

Do you happen to know what their Cloud division consists of, and what services they provide? And if so could you tell me some small details about it?

I'd honestly like to know, it looks promising.

Do you realize you are comparing the launch quarter to the following year?

You know it, look at all those low votes of people who won't comment.



Has anyone got an idea of the gap between PS3 and the 360 based on this update? It's clear, even if there is actually a lead for the PS3, it didn't happen as soon as some would have liked. I guess Microsoft predicted it right early on when they said PS3 would not have overtaken 360 by the end of the generation (which most here agreed at the time, occurred when the next generation started).



Take that, Xbox doom-mongers.



It looks like they emphasized the increased market share of the X1 to assuage investors, so they can expect a return on the back end (XBL, DLC, etc.). While the revenue falloff is significant, it is definitely tolerable for a company as successful as MS. There is a lot of rhetoric about investor tolerance for the X1 division losses, but I'd imagine that MS is a Delaware C corp., where investors effectively have no rights (This is how big business is always done.). The only tolerance that matters is that of executives and whether or not they want to ride the storm out. Since they can, it is a choice. Sony had a similar predicament with their mobile devices segment, but they had to cut the division to prevent the damage it was doing to the overall bottom line. From a financial perspective, the X1 may be a loser, but the brand is too valuable to offhandedly discontinue. If anything, this press release shows they are committed to defending and extending its lifecycle. If I put that much money into development, I'd sure as hell be doing the same.



Just realised, Microsoft's revenue for the quarter exceeds Sony's market cap. The mind boggles.
