US Xbox 360 sales fall in December quarter

MCV Staff 25th January 2013 Publishing

Xbox 360 still rules the roost in the US, but sales for the December quarter were sharply down year-on-year.

Revenue for Microsoft’s Entertainment and Devices Division – home of Xbox and Windows Phone – was down 11 per cent to $3.8bn with operating income up 15 per cent to $596m.

5.9m Xbox 360 consoles were shipped throughout the period, down significantly from the 8.2m shipped in the same period a year prior. None of which stopped the console standing firm as the best selling in the region.

Microsoft’s overall Q2 revenue climbed three per cent to $21.45bn though net income fell three per cent to $7.77bn.
