Digital Spy reports:
Microsoft has announced a profit increase in its gaming division despite a drop in company-wide revenue.
Both Xbox 360 and PC gaming sectors have seen a profit increase of 16% to $1.57 billion the last quarter
"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge is one of the most popular beat 'em ups of the last few years, so it came as no surprise when the game received a DLC entitled "Dimension Shellshock." What did come as a surprise, however, is when Xbox published a trailer for a second DLC called "Radical Reptiles." No press release was sent out, and the DLC isn't available just yet," says Co-Optimus.
Spike Chunsoft has made the Dragon Ball Sparking Zero version of Whis lore accurate by making the character's ki more powerful than the rest.
Nearly 10 years ago, former Need for Speed developer Ghost Games copped a kicking for making its 2015 series reboot online-only, even in single player.
In response, its 2019 follow-up Need for Speed Heat did not require a persistent online connection. Earlier this year, Ubisoft decommissioned The Crew, making it impossible for owners to play from now on – even by themselves. The move wasn’t received well. This very week Ubisoft has confirmed The Crew 2 and The Crew Motorfest will now get offline modes.
In contrast to these course corrections, Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown arrives in 2024 as another online-only racing game that seems to have little interest in being something that’s satisfying to play solo. It’s a baffling start and, despite a nice handling model and a lot of effort on display in its unique open world, it unfortunately doesn’t get any better.
Entertainment division revenue doesn't equal just 360 revenue. So to all the nay sayers from yesterday...looks like gaming with MS isn't going anywhere.
MS has managed to INCREASE its profits in both the 360 and PC segments by 16% each, despite losses in the EADD.

Not only that, but MS has also recently shipped record numbers of xbox360s to bring the total to 30.2 million.

The world has never looked better for gamers!
Kudos, MS!
Despite the criticism they get for buying DLC and 3rd party support and all of that, they have to be doing something right.
I'm pretty sure that the Zune isn't helping matters much for the whole division. Its a shame too, because its a nice piece of tech. The ipod brand is just too strong.
Ok now that i have said that i think I'll go and play some games and not profits and sales like some people.:P *runs away from my fellow X-box fan-boy's*
