Microsoft corporation, completed by 31 March the third quarter of fiscal year 2015.
Price cut on Xbox One in June last year by eliminating Kinect and subsequent write-down for an additional $ 50 led to the fact that Microsoft in the first quarter this year made from the sale of consoles 24% less money than a year earlier. However, the popularity of tablets Surface Pro 3 will provide an increase in revenue from the sale of 44% to $ 713 million. Smartphones Lumia brought Microsoft in the first quarter $ 1.4 billion. Lumia smartphone sales volumes in the budget segment grew by 18%.
Microsoft is proud of the fact that the cost of smartphones production was reduced to $ 2.5 billion., Although at the time you make a deal with Nokia they reached $ 4.5 billion. However, the work in this direction a lot more, especially as the focus shifted to the budget segment. Incidentally, the amount of expenditure on the Microsoft Surface tablet release in the first quarter this year will be announced later, and only then can we judge the profitability of this activity - in the past it often brought only losses.
