Big Bucks for Microsoft

Microsoft has announced their impressive Q1 earnings.

Fueled by Halo 3 and higher than expected Xbox 360 sales, the Entertainment and Devices Division of Microsoft had revenue grow more than 90 percent up to $1.9 billion. Xbox 360 console units also saw an increase of more than 90 percent driven by the August console price cut, the record-setting launch of Halo 3.

Microsoft is still touting their "greatest lineup of games in history", but at this point it's starting to become a little bit more believeable. Of interest to RPG fans, the Xbox 360 has a fall/winter lineup of games including Eternal Sonata, BioShock, Blue Dragon, Mass Effect, and Two Worlds. The hit action RPG Marvel: Ultimate Alliance is also now included with Xbox 360's along with Forza Motorsport 2.

To date 13.4 million Xbox 360 units have been sold.
