Taken from their 10K filing; (which in turn taken from neogaf)

"Computing and Gaming Hardware revenue increased $3.2 billion or 49%, primarily due to higher revenue from the Xbox Platform and Surface. Xbox Platform revenue increased $1.7 billion or 34%, due mainly to sales of Xbox One, which was released in November 2013, offset in part by a decrease in sales of Xbox 360. We sold 11.7 million Xbox consoles during fiscal year 2014 compared with 9.8 million Xbox consoles during fiscal year 2013. Surface revenue increased $1.3 billion or 157%, due mainly to a higher number of devices and accessories sold.

Computing and Gaming Hardware gross margin decreased slightly, due to a $3.2 billion or 59% increase in cost of revenue, offset in part by higher revenue. Xbox Platform cost of revenue increased $2.1 billion or 72%, due mainly to higher volumes of consoles sold and higher costs associated with Xbox One. Surface cost of revenue increased $970 million or 51%, due mainly to a higher number of devices and accessories sold, offset in part by a charge for Surface RT inventory adjustments of approximately $900 million in fiscal year 2013."

This is on a gross margin basis as well so the operating loss is probably much higher.

then explain it Mr. Stock expert.
:dahell:

It's a product launch, you always loose money the year of a product launch. Consoles are sold at a loss, meaning the more consoles they sell, the more money they loose.

This is expected, the increase in revenue is good news and stocks are up.

Nothing to see here, unless you just wanna get your circle jerk on, in that case go right ahead. :cheers:
