Full Fiscal Year
Home and Entertainment revenue increased primarily due to the launch of the Xbox 360 console partially offset by a decline in first party Xbox game sales primarily resulting from the significant impact of Halo2 in fiscal year 2005. We sold approximately 5 million Xbox 360 consoles during the fiscal year. The revenue growth was also attributed to $140 million or 15% growth from our other product lines, primarily as a result of an increase in PC games sales due to significant new game releases, especially "Age of Empires III", and an increase in MSTV revenue due to deployments in fiscal year 2006.
5 million sold by the end of june incredible job Microsoft. The number to beat was 4.75 Million and Microsoft accomplished it.
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
The name "Hewson" carries a special weight for anyone who grew up during the golden age of British computing. As the son of Andrew Hewson—the man behind legendary publisher Hewson Consultants—Rob Hewson didn't just grow up playing video games; he learned to spell his name from their title screens. However, Rob didn't just rest on his family's 8-bit laurels. From leading major LEGO franchises at TT Games to tackling the high-stakes world of technical porting at Huey Games, Rob has carved out a unique path in an ever-evolving industry. In this candid interview Rob to discussed the burden and beauty of a family legacy, the technical "scar tissue" left by the ambitious Hydrophobia, and why porting a masterpiece like Inscryption to consoles is far more than a simple copy-paste job.
To celebrate Tomb Raider: Legend's 20th anniversary, the official channels have shared an early in-development gameplay demo.

The king is dead(Playstation). Long live the king(Xbox)!
Just wait til this Christmas when all the games start rolling in. Microsoft had better hope they produced enough 360's. The sells will pick up after summer is over and Saint Row and 99 nights hit the scene and after that, theres no stopping the 360. And with live so popular the camera will help to. HD-DVD add-ons will help big time with it being cheap and people hearing Blu-ray being inferior. These guy's are professonal bussiness men and deal with technoligies that run the planet. It's not like their some company selling toasters and grills and TV's and such. lol
360 will be the new PS2 this generation but more powerful as a well rounded power house. PS3's like a car with a higher top speed, while 360 has the hourse, handling ect, and the road of the industry is very whindy. And that's if Sony can pull it of and stop downgrading the console. Hope their telling the truth to you Sony fans. And if MS comes out with even other statements and info and it's not conmfermed from other sources you can count on them for the truth because the world is watching.
It looks like he's going to cry and he's throwing temper tantrums.
