for me it seems you have something to lose here. as i said if somebody gives me a more factual reason i have no issue to change my stance here. you haven given me none so far.
btw any insider can give further evidence without outing his sources. as we see every day looking into the news. btw in the filings is more information than you might see if you take the information in there and and add industry benchmarks to it.
on a personal note: i also like to be adressed without the attempt of insulting me. thanks in advance.
edit:
seeing the pattern here it brings you nearer to the person you mentioned than me tbh:
a) strong believer in one insider
b) getting personal if not able to provide some sort of evidence or reasoning
just saying.
edit2:
btw i can live with it to agree to disagree on this matter.
Wow, that escalated quickly.
I wasn't intending to offend at all. I simply don't understand your position on the matter. You're effectively saying that you're more willing to make a conclusion on the matter of the health of MS's Xbox business based on financial reports that offer no information at all, than simply not make any conclusions...
...it also seems that you've completely missed the point of what I'm arguing with you. I'm not saying that I'd rather believe Thurrott myself over the MS financials. I'm saying that I'd rather leave the possibility open that Thurrott could be right or wrong and simply not jump to any conclusions in the first place because we're clearly lacking facts.
If you found anything offensive in my previous post then I apologize as it wasn't intended, but clearly I'm drilling you pretty hard because from the outset in this thread you seem like an intelligent poster, and yet despite that you seem to be holding fast to an insistence to conclude on the matter of MS Xbox business' financial health without any actual facts to base it on... frankly... and i mean this in the nicest possible way... that's rather unintelligent, imho.
