Microsoft reported earnings for FY22 Q2 (Oct - Dec 21). When looking at gaming: Total games revenue was up 8% YoY for the quarter. - Content & Services up 10% YoY due to 1st party + subscriptions growth. - Hardware up 4% YoY due to demand for X|S. https://www.microsoft.com/... ht…

Microsoft's Azure earnings (up 46% YoY) are wow, but look at those LinkedIn earnings - up 37% (granted, they're smaller than the Cloud stuff). And $51.7B is a big jump, overall. #Microsft https://www.microsoft.com/...

If $MSFT after-hours drop holds through tomorrow, the stock will be down 18% in January, with 3 trading days left in the month. Would be its worst monthly drop since Dec. 2000 and its fourth worst ever. April 2000 - 34% Oct. 1985 - 25% Dec. 2000 - 24% https://www.cnbc.com/...

no mention of the new “Microsoft Gaming” business unit in Microsoft's latest Q2 earnings. I wonder if this will be broken out in Q3, and if we'll get more insight into Microsoft's gaming revenues https://www.theverge.com/...

Thinking $MSFT is off AH because it didn't beat *as much* as it had the previous 4 quarters. Tough bar if that's the case. https://twitter.com/...

Plan for the worst, hope for the best: Microsoft expected a “single-digit decline” for Surface this quarter. It was actually up 8%. Windows licenses were up a massive 25%. The entire More Personal Computer div blew past its own expectations. Details: https://www.windowscentral.co…

@TheStalwart and despite a topline and bottomline beat. Azure growth disappointed some folks who had expected more.

Where did he say it? That's right, on an earnings call you had to join via Teams. https://twitter.com/...

Annual revenue of gaming industry ($180 billion in 2021) is double that of the movie industry. Can Apple (already in movie/TV production) afford to stay out of gaming?
