"... The division, which also includes the Xbox game console, PC games, consumer hardware and Microsoft TV, posted an operating loss of $190 million for its fiscal third quarter that ended March 31, compared with a $97 million loss a year earlier, according to the filing.

Quarterly revenue at the division fell to $493 million from $943 million a year ago, according to Microsoft's internal accounting mechanism. The drop is largely attributable to lower sales of Xbox game machines and games in all geographic regions, Microsoft said in the filing."

What is Microsoft going to do?

in the game console market, and if more game publishers are as smart as Electronic Arts they never will achieve a monopoly position.
