Hey guys,

does anyone know how the Windows 7 launch was? How much did they sell so far? Is Microsoft happy? What do analysts say?

I can't find anything I could trust.

Thanks for some links / reports!

Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

Yeah, hopefully good enough to cover the obvious losses the 360 sink hole causes them.

Getting it out of the way before one of them lot says something similar.
