Microsoft shipped 1.1 million Xbox consoles last quarter

Microsoft reported the results of its fiscal fourth quarter today, and we got some hard numbers about how the Xbox One and Xbox 360 are performing.

The Xbox One and Xbox 360 combined to sell 1.1 million systems to retailers during Microsoft’s Q4 of fiscal 2014, which ended June 30. That’s up from 1 million (just Xbox 360s) sold over the same period year-over-year. While that is only a 10 percent increase, the Xbox One costs much more than the Xbox 360 did during fiscal 2013, so Microsoft’s revenue from Xbox was up 14 percent to $104 million. That, along with improved sales for Microsoft’s Surface tablet line, helped lift the company’s hardware division. Computer and gaming hardware were up a total of 23 percent to $274 million for Q4.
