It's not much, and I don't know if the X360 made a profit. Perhaps more will be learned from the full report and conference call.

Wait a minute, the parenthesis mean loss right? So isnt it saying that the Entertainment division had an income of 89 million and then a loss of 324 million for like operatoring and stuff?

There aren't many projects turning a profit within the E&D division. That's why that division exists.





Current-gen game collection uploaded on the profile, full of win and good games; also most of my PC games. Lucasfilm Games/LucasArts 1982-2008 (Requiescat In Pace).

Entertainment and Devices revenue for the quarter grew 68% over the comparable period last year driven by robust demand for Xbox 360 consoles. Cumulative console sales surpassed 19 million during the quarter, up 74% from a year ago. Server and Tools revenue growth of 18% added to its string of consecutive double-digit revenue growth quarters, which now stands at 23.

 Does this mean 19m as at March 31 2008? Does this mean VGChartz is slightly undertracking?

They announced at GDC 18m, does that mean they sold 1m in the last month?

Somebody like Bill Gates just loves the idaa of owning a major games console. A few billion in the red is nothing.

You are aware, fishy, that these numbers include the Zune and every other Microsoft device on the market, and according to a source I can't be bothered to find, don't include the billion set aside for the RRoD losses.

 

 

...but then again, Nintendo gains include everything made from the Poke'mon franchise as well. 


They made Pokemon so...
