Microsoft has announced its first-quarter earnings for the period ended on September 30, and the Entertainment and Devices Division, which houses the Xbox and interactive entertainment business, saw revenues roughly flat year-over-year at $1.95 billion while operating income dropped precipitously, down 94 percent to just $19 million, but at least the company remained in the black. Shipments of the Xbox 360 console dipped from 2.3 million to 1.7 million units for the period
Overall, Xbox 360 platform revenue decreased $418 million (24 percent), "due mainly to lower volumes of consoles sold and lower video game revenue, offset in part by higher Xbox LIVE revenue."
Czyli w dużym skrócie - MS zaczyna powoli mieć mniejsze zyski z X360. Po Win8 przyszła pora na wydanie nowego Xboksa.
