Master Chief Helps To Push Microsoft In Q2’05 News

Halo 2 proves to be a big success for Xbox as Microsoft announces its second quarter 2005 results…
Microsoft today announced its second quarter results for the fiscal year 2005 ending December 31st 2004, and also confirms a strong few months for its Xbox division. Whilst Microsoft Corporation enjoyed an increase in operating income for the second quarter by $3.27 billion, up to $4.75 billion (this due to the $2.21 billion compensation package that Microsoft paid out in the second quarter 2004 as a result of the Employee Stock Option Transfer Program), the companyâs net income stood at $3.46 billion.
Away from the Corporationâs results, it seems that Microsoft have also been pleased with the Xbox, and has announced that 6.3 million units of Halo 2 have been sold so far, not a bad figure when you consider that 20 million Xbox consoles have been sold.
Vice President of Microsoftâs Home and Entertainment Group, Robbie Bach, said "Our Xbox business fired on all cylinders and provided a strong ending to what was a great year for the platform and our partnersâ¦Not only did we achieve record software sales with our strongest games lineup to date, but we also sold more consoles than our competitors during the critical holiday sales season in the United States, and increased Xbox Live! membership to over 1.4 million members."
Halo 2 appears to be helping to push Live! forward, as we reported in December when the release of the game helped to quadruple network traffic, something that weâve contributed to over the past couple of months as we try to increase our Clan Level in the game (with only limited yo-yo like success.)
Weâll have more shortlyâ¦
