Here's figures from their annual...
For the quarter ended Dec. 31, profit increased to $4.71 billion (U.S.), or 50 cents per share, from $2.63 billion, or 26 cents per share, in the year-ago period.
Revenue rose 31 per cent to $16.37 billion from $12.5 billion in the year-ago quarter, ahead of analysts' prediction of $15.95 billion.
And for the X360... (like they sell that many Zunes
)
Sales from the division behind the Xbox 360 game console and Zune digital media player edged up 3 per cent to $3.06 billion. The division swung to a profit of $357 million from a loss of $302 million last year.
So about 19% of sales comes from X360. Didn't think it was that much....
One other interesting tidbit:
Microsoft's "client" division, responsible for Vista, posted revenue of $4.34 billion. It has sold 100 million copies of Vista since its January 2007 launch.
