Big growth in cloud revenue, though. http://www.bit-tech.net/news/bits/2015/04/24/microsoft-q3-2015/1
They should of kept the Xbox one as a gamers console first that's how the Xbox 360 was a major success. Sony caught on to this and every advert that ps4 has mensioned its for gamers. Both consoles are struggling for great exclusives at the minute though.
Cant belive both the ps4 and xbone are 18 months old and still no compelling games for either that really make me want to fork out the cash for them, MK:X was the first release i was looking forward too, with arkham knight and rise of the tomb raider being the other 2 games i want, but none of those are exclusives and apart from the bluray player i spend more time on my 360 than i do on my xbone
Third quarter of Microsoft's financial year 2015. Yes, that's stupid. As is the fact that I write for magazines which appear on shelves in one month with a date of three months into the future on 'em. What can you do?
Release an Autumn and Christmas issue towards the latter end of the year instead of an October and December issue. Then a winter issue in January, and then release February's issue in February. Or have 3 August issues until time catches up with your time traveling tomes. :/
The continuing prices cuts, for the Xbox One, could lead to reduced sales as potential customers hold-out for hoped for further reductions and can lead to a perception that the console is a failure and not worth investing in.
