Overall those are great numbers. It looks like the xbox 360 is starting to make some money as well.

WOW that is a lot.

This makes one ponder on the Wii's profits.

:shock:

They made that much in ONE quarter?

I guess Vista isn't doing that bad, huh.

Wait a minute...

Is their Games division running a profit?!?

The end times are here!

kinda funny how huge MS's numbers are compared to Sony's

from http://www.cnbc.com/id/9835614/for/cnbc/

"Sony raised its forecast for the full fiscal year, which ends March 31, to $2.89 billion from the earlier projection of $2.81 billion."

compared to Microsoft

http://www.cnbc.com/id/21476686/for/cnbc/

"Wall Street analysts, on average, were forecasting fiscal 2008 earnings of $1.73 per share on revenue of $57.3 billion"

i mean sheesh 57.3B vs. 2.81B thats a huge difference i never knew before.

Windows monopoly milkage confirmed once again. Don't even try to relate this to 360...... that's division has been taking losses since Xbox started.Lazy_Boy88

FantasySports00

Yeah 1764 million in profit.

Folks, the $4.3 billion is what Microsoft makes pretty much EVERY quarter. Last I checked, their yearly profit is over $12 billion.

Their gaming division, however, looks like it did post a profit of about $1.8 billion.

MS is the kings of gaming!

The entertainment division rung in 1764 million dollars in profit.deangallop

Actually, it was more like a tenth of that. The number you have is their revenue. Still, that's unprecedented.

Could Microsoft actually wind up in the black this gen from their games division?

They were, except now, that division is posting a profit. That is, they aren't taking losses.

So it is relevant.

Folks, the $4.3 billion is what Microsoft makes pretty much EVERY quarter. Last I checked, their yearly profit is over $12 billion.

Their gaming division, however, looks like it did post a profit of about $1.8 billion.

Fact.

Microsoft makes stupid money and will continue to. And if the games division can continue operating in the green, it will be here to stay. all MS cares about is money, and if the games division makes them money in the end, that's all that will matter.

I'm cool with that.

Actually, this is the best quarter MSFT has had since 1999 (fact from company itself), and is a huge success for them across the board in almost every division. You should hear the talk about this on TV and the net as a whole.

I took the entertainments division revenue and subtracted the operating loss, are you sure I screwed up???

17 million or 1.8 billion?

[QUOTE="DaysAirlines"]Sony shuns B/C, MS games division profits. The world has officially spun out on it's axis.maabus99

I think operating income is close to net income? In this case, MS entertainment divison had an operating income of $165 million, which means the net income from that divison is less but close to $165 million? Someone correct me if I am wrong.

While that could be true, the simple fact of the matter is that they make money hand over fist. Every quarter.
