Forums - Sales Discussion - Official Big 3 Quarterly/Annual Results for shipments to date & projections

The info is on their site, but it's not collated like on Nintendo's and Sony's. You'll have to dig through each quarterly earnings release to find it. That's just for hardware though, I don't think they have any software totals.

I couldn't find it on the bits I could access.

I just tried this link again:http://www.microsoft.com/msft/reports/default.mspx
and it worked for some reason.

but sifting through all the junk (for 2008 report) this is all I could find, and it doesn't mention software shipments

EDD revenue increased primarily due to increased Xbox 360 platform sales. Xbox 360 platform and PC game revenue increased $1.7 billion or 41% as a result of increased Xbox 360 console sales, video game sales led by Halo 3, Xbox Live revenue, and Xbox 360 accessory sales. We shipped 8.7 million Xbox 360 consoles during fiscal year 2008, compared with 6.6 million Xbox 360 consoles during fiscal year 2007.

EDD operating income increased primarily due to increased revenue and decreased cost of revenue, partially offset by increased research and development expenses and sales and marketing expenses. Cost of revenue decreased $683 million or 13%, reflecting the impact of the $1.1 billion Xbox 360 charge in fiscal year 2007 (which primarily related to the warranty expansion), partially offset by increased Xbox 360 product costs related to increased unit console sales. Research and development expenses increased $242 million or 18%, primarily reflecting increased headcount-related expenses and costs related to the acquisition of Danger, including a $24 million in-process research and development expense. Sales and marketing expenses increased $93 million or 8%, primarily reflecting increased headcount-related expenses and increased bad debt expense. Headcount-related expenses increased 21%, driven by an increase in headcount during the year.

Fiscal year 2007 compared with fiscal year 2006

EDD revenue increased primarily due to increased Xbox 360 platform and Zune sales. We shipped 6.6 million Xbox 360 consoles during fiscal year 2007 as compared to 5.0 million consoles during fiscal year 2006. Xbox and PC game revenue increased $650 million or 19% as a result of increased Xbox 360 platform sales, partially offset by decreased sales of the first generation Xbox console and related accessories and video games. Zune, consumer hardware and software, and Mediaroom revenue increased $539 million or 65% primarily driven by the Zune launch in November 2006.

EDD operating loss increased primarily due to the $1.1 billion Xbox 360 charge recognized in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007 and Zune launch-related expenses. The increase in operating loss was partially offset by increased Xbox 360 platform sales and decreased Xbox 360 console manufacturing costs. Headcount-related expenses increased 14%, driven by an increase in headcount during the year.

 

 



Yeah, only hardware unfortunately.














Thanks for the slides BKK.

Today Microsoft announced 6 million shipped 360s for the quarter. Does that mean 28.5 million shipped, not 28 million as was being said?

That is what it seems like. Unless there is some generous rounding going on, the 5.5m was probably an internal estimate from before December had been completed. Who knows really.

I don't think they would round the figures in the financial reports.

Sony has apparently lowered PSP and PS2 shipment forecasts for the year ending March 2009 by 1 million units each.

"Hardware sales expectations for the year ended March 2009 remain unchanged for the PlayStation 3 – the company still expects to sell 10 million units.

However, Sony has dropped estimates for sales of both the PSP and PlayStation 2 by one million, to 15 million units and 8 million units respectively."
