Microsoft's FY13 Q3 Results + Earnings Conference Call at 2:30 PM PT
More like a month and half away.
But GAF said me to jump off MS wagon 'cause they were doomed
We should tell this guy named GAF to go jump off a wagon right?
I had to refresh once and it played fine with the VLC Web Plugin.

When talking about Q4 FY 2013: "Moving onto EDD (Entertainment and Devices Division), we expect revenue to grow mid teens."

FY13 Q4. So April-July. That's how I interpreted it anyway.
That number seems underwhelming to me? Or is that expected?

Makes made 6+billion profit in one quarter.
How many years combined would you have to go back for Sony to match that?
It's fine. 100k less than jan-mar 2012.
I would say the people saying that must hate MS and are wanting it to happen so bad that they actually believe it is true. Fact is, MS is not going anywhere any time soon. They are very strong right now and will be for a long time.
Hey, I'm just impressed we're 3 pages in without RROD being mentioned!
30 pager easily.
I can't believe the numbers , all I ever read online is that MS don't understand their markets etc.
Tell me how this can be GAF....possible secret sauce ? Wizard Jiz ?

Guys ignore gaf, hes not real; its a hallucination and don't hang out with Smokeydave next time!
Its not the best time for a conversation when the FBI are putting Boston pictures up honestly.
Anyway not enough graphs
Good sign for MS anyway. Windows 8 might have been a big strategic failure but its not dragging anything down. I did ponder in the (IDC?) other thread about not including 'hybrid' devices (e.g. Windows 8 Laptops) was massively skewing figures.
Whats going on with EDD? Is that the mobile side helping things? I suppose they've kept the 360 up and lowered marketing plus Halo this year.

BS, tonnes were in another thread this past week. They literally said MS's one core market is stagnating and Sony will overtake them at some point.
That's just a bald faced lie.

I did not expect this. I haven't read a single positive thing about Windows 8 or Phone 8. NPD data from the last couple of months also showed that 360 is in a YoY decline. Where did all this money come from?
Still, I'm one of the people who thought Microsoft would perish and I still think that.

I think the disappointing PC shipments are more crucial at this point for Microsoft.
Xbox has been successful, and Durango will be unveiled soon.

Its really not a major side of the business; plus what do analysts care about generations?
To them the Xbox is a solid sailing ship.
Sony still might. They might also break their back and die. Cut the wanking people, it makes you pull embarrassing faces.
MS has big challenges though, which they've struggled to meet; one quarter is not going to change that.

Why don't you cut my shit yourself you little punk? I can find a good amount of serious post claiming MS' eventual dead, but I don't have time for your cuntcrap.

And the call is practically over. Just one single quote about next-generation. The exact statement:
- that they will share more information soon (before E3)
- E3 is so close it's basically soon, therefore more info at E3
If they only could provide some actual information.
I wonder if the event rumored for May 21 is still on schedule, or if they simply will wait until E3. The statement can be interpreted in two ways:
- that they will share more information soon (before E3)
- E3 is so close it's basically soon, therefore more info at E3
If they only could provide some actual information.

Videogames or whole company? Quite different taking into account that MS owns Windows for example. I just don't get how people cheer people they will never meet are getting richer, just for console wars BS.
The whole company, they were talking about Windows and such.

E3 is the next event in the near future Xbox is confirmed to be at. Saying 'See you on May 21st!' would be weird.
....do you have any idea how cash rich and entrenched Microsoft is? If anyone is going to get forced out of the game market it's Sony, at the hands of Microsoft.
Not really. Their business is pretty much fool proof at this point and ridiculously stable going forward. Between bundling their OS with 95% of the computer hardware out there and there not being a legitimate contender for their Office suite, they're pretty much guaranteed to rake in billions every quarter without even trying. The Xbox brand continues to grow, and unless they do something monumentally stupid, that's unlikely to change going forward. Their only missteps are Windows Phone 7/8 and Surface, and their OS and Office situation is so lucrative at this point, that it honestly doesn't really matter.

Well, Microsoft has been bouncing back and forth between the idea with revealing Durango before E3, or at E3.
First it was late April or E3, now they're deciding between late May or E3 (mid-June).
I honestly think they haven't made up their mind yet. Either way, two months from now we'll know for sure.
Microsoft is 100% announcing Durango by the time E3 is over.
Wow stop being so awkward and weird. Mods gonna come in here and cunt punt you.

Entertainment & Devices Division
EDD revenue increased, primarily due to higher Xbox 360 platform and Windows Phone revenue. Xbox 360 platform revenue increased $641 million or 55%, primarily due to the recognition of $380 million of revenue related to the Video Game Deferral and higher Xbox LIVE revenue. Windows Phone revenue increased $259 million, including patent licensing revenue and increased sales of Windows Phone licenses.
EDD operating income increased, primarily due to revenue growth, offset in part by higher cost of revenue and research and development expenses. Cost of revenue increased $275 million or 23%, due mainly to increased royalties on Xbox LIVE content and video games. Research and development expenses increased $113 million or 28%, primarily reflecting higher headcount-related expenses.

They are doing extraordinarily well. Good for them.
Come on, a simple "you're wrong, and here's why: " would suffice.
They never do. Xbox is just a sideline for MS. Anyway, it seems like they had a decent quarter. It's be nice if they'd get Win Phone out of ED&D so we can get a better idea of the business.
