Xbox Division Maintains Profit in Q1
Posted by XanTium | October 23 23:27 EST | News Category: Xbox360
From edge-online.com: [QUOTE] Microsoft said Thursday that Q1 revenues rose 9 percent to $15.1 billion, a new record for the company. Company-wide operating income was $9 billion, while net income was $4.4 billion.
Sales in the Xbox 360's Entertainment and Devices Division were $1.8 billion, down 6 percent year-on-year due to a tough comparison with last year's blockbuster launch of Halo 3 and hardware price reductions that took hold in early September. Operating income was up 7 percent to $178 million due to "decreased cost of revenue and sales and marketing expenses." [/QUOTE]

Can anyone say: "recession proof" ? Kudos to Microsoft.
Figures based on the current economic climate will be not be in yet. The economic situation takes time to filter down. Continued recession will affect all console sales along with everything else.
