Revenue for EDD was nearly flat reflecting “increased revenue from the non-gaming portion of the business”, offset by decreased revenue from Xbox 360 and PC games.
Xbox 360 and PC game revenue decreased $12M, due to the reduction of Xbox 360 consoles sold and revenue per console, yet there was an increase in Xbox Live revenue.
MS shipped 10.3M Xbox 360 consoles during its fiscal year 2010, compared with 11.2M during fiscal year 2009.
Cost of revenue decreased 11 percent to $528M due to lower Xbox 360 costs, which was offset partly by increased royalties from Xbox Live’s third-party content sales.
R&D expenses decreased by 2 percent to $34M thanks to lowered third-party development and programming costs.
Still, rolling in the money. No doubt about it.
