Plus: MS research spend up $65 million.
The global total of Xbox 360 consoles sold now stands at 44.6 million, Microsoft has announced. And the game-per-console attach rate has risen to 8.9.
Those figures arrive after an “exceptional” three month performance by the house that Bill Gates built – particularly the Entertainment and Devices Division.
From the start of July to the end of September, Microsoft sold 2.8 million Xbox 360s worldwide – 38 per cent more than during the same period last year.
