Bloody hell, some actual good news for finances in the video gaming world as Microsoft releases its second fiscal quarter results.
"The Entertainment & Devices Division posted revenue of $4.24 billion, an increase of 15% from the prior period. The Xbox 360 installed base now totals approximately 66 million consoles and 18 million Kinect sensors. Xbox LIVE now has 40 million members worldwide, an increase of 33% from the prior year period."
Now, no matter where you stand on the console 'war' (ideally, you stand aside from it and just get on with gaming) this has got to be mildly uplifting stuff.
Kevin Turner, chief operating officer at Microsoft also pointed out that, “In addition to the continued strength of our commercial business, this holiday season was the strongest in Microsoft history, thanks to good sales execution and compelling products like Xbox 360 and Kinect.
But then he goes ruins it by saying something stupid like, "We are seeing a lot of excitement for new devices, from Windows 7 Ultrabooks to new Windows Phones, as well as growing anticipation for Windows 8.”
