Microsoft has to be grinning from ear to ear today with the announcement of their third quarter fiscal year earnings.

Much thanks to their hands free device that just so happened to claim the title of the fastest selling consumer device in history, the Kinect, Microsoft’s Entertainment & Devices Division grew to 60%.  2.7 million Xbox 360′s were sold, while the Kinect moved 2.4 million units.  Altogether Microsoft is looking at $16.43 billion dollar profit from their third quarter fiscal year with earnings from the Microsoft brand.

With all that new dough they're raking in, they should re-hire the staff they laid off. Like the ones behind the Xbox Gamerscore Blog. They were timely, and their entries worth reading.

Auspicious timing, MS strikes it rich(er) while the shite hits the fan for Sony.

I agree. I got alot of my Xbox News there.

Sadly, it'll never happen. Chris and the gang started up their own company and are doing well. Doesn't mean a new crop of writers couldn't bring it back, though.

That's a shame. It would be nice to see it come back.
