Xbox sales down 17%, XBL users up 28% to 39M
Gaming revenue increased slightly, as growth in revenue from Xbox Live and video games was offset in part by lower Xbox hardware revenue.
Xbox Live revenue increased 17%, driven by both higher volumes of transactions and revenue per transaction. Video games revenue grew 66%, driven by sales of Minecraft.
Xbox hardware revenue decreased 17%, mainly due to lower volumes of Xbox 360 consoles sold. Video games revenue grew 66%, driven by sales of Minecraft.
The Personal Computing segment, in which Xbox and Windows 10 is housed, reported $9.4 billion in revenue (down 17%) compared to $11.2 billion year-over-year. Xbox consoles were previously housed in the Consumer Devices division.
Revenue in the entire sector (devices which include mobile, Windows) decreased $1.9 billion mainly due to lower revenue from Devices and Windows, offset in part by higher search advertising revenue. An unfavorable foreign currency impact of approximately 4% also affected the division.
Microsoft said for the quarter ending September 30, net income came in at $4.62 billion compared to $4.54 billion year-over-year.
Revenue fell $20.38 billion from $23.20 billion year-over-year.

I personally think they should stop selling xbox 360 consoles. For the same price you would be able to get yourself a second hand Xbox one console!

The title made no sense to me then I read and when it said 360 sales went down it made sense to me, but they should really stop selling them. They remind me of like a gamecube now.

JTH Well 360's aren't the new thing anymore so I'm not suprised that sales have gone down.
360 are getting old , but i still love them :p

Those sales are probably going to sky-rocket in the holiday season; all these new bundles I couldn't see any negative impact, and live sales will probably increase also. Can't wait too see the next report on this.
