That's because it was overshiped during the holiday season, and there was less overall demand from retailers. This is why providing shipped numbers sometimes can really stab you in the back.

No, it's because the previous quarter included the holiday season and that's the time of the year when the most hardware is sold by far. It would be completely bonkers if the quarter ending March 31st would be better than the quarter ending December 31st. Come on, super6646, this is basic stuff.


I'm talking about the decline from last year. Come on RolStoppable, this is basic stuff (everyone is doing it now so I should to lol).

You said this isnt a well run company.  Xbox isnt a company.  Be more specific in future discussion and we might get somewhere.

Interesting fun fact of today.  MS market cap has increased today by a full Nintendo and a quarter of another Nintendo.

Xbox down huh?  Can you define that exactly please?  How is xbox down?  in revenue?  profits? sales? I am talkign specifically about just Xbox remember.

Since we are on a video games forum, the video games part of Microsoft is the one most people here care about. And in regards to that, it isn't well-run and fan expectations have ajdusted themselves accordingly over time.

Other interesting fun facts: Microsoft's rise in market cap had nothing to do with Xbox, and Nintendo is a video game company. We might as well start to talk about oil companies at this point.

Xbox is down in shipments from the previous quarter.

playsation sales will be down yoy, too ;)
ps4 sales alone maybe not, but the combined are likely below 3.7m 

next week we know for sure

my guess:
ps3 will be 300 - 600k
ps4 will be 2.8 - 3.2m



Well. The Microsoft financial thread always seems to rustle a few jimmies. Congrats on your new money Kowen!

Of course it will be down and that doesn't hurt me one bit. Come on, microspot, this is basic stuff.

so why does it hurt you, that xbox is down?
or did e get something wrong?



Knocking against 10% gain. Nice little surge in volume. Hopefully it at least hits 48. C'mon MS, this is basic stuff.

and there we have it.  10.08%,  hang on in there...

Given the moving average curve on the 5 minute, it looks like it'll probably end the day at around 47.80.

This is so beautiful. New high 47.78. 10,2%
