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
"The London-based (the UK) indie games developer Spiderling Studios are today very delighted and proud to announce that they have just released the "Splintered Sea" DLC for their sandbox builder "Besiege" (the said DLC is available right now for PC via Steam)." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
The fight to liberate Varylia 5 rages on in Helldivers 2, but this new Major Order is at risk of failure following a recent brutal defeat.
At what point does this start to become spam?
Do we need an article on every major order or randomized event in the game?
"The German-Austrian-based indie games publisher Toplitz Productions and Poland-based indie games developer Mehuman Games, are today very proud and glad to announce that they are soon going to release a time-limited playable demo for their open-world adventure/RPG “Vampire Dynasty” (the said demo will be available for PC via Steam Next Fest from June 10 thru June 17th)." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
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*
