Microsoft Have Shipped Six Million XBox 360s
Microsoft Corp. is six million XBox 360 units sold on the way to the 10 million they have forecast for the end of the year. The 10 milion target is seen as significant because that's when the games publishers see a platform with legs and commit more to it.
The console break down for territories was 3.6 million units in North America, 1.7 million in Europe and about 700,000 to other regions.
Microsoft posted an 11 percent rise in fiscal first- quarter profit yesterday and said its entertainment and devices division that includes Xbox 360 cut its first-quarter loss to $96 million from $173 million a year earlier. They've always said that the division would be in profit in 2007.
Manufacturing costs are reducing for the console and soon there will be a drop in retail price due to component costs and CPU and graphics chip marrying on one chip device.
