At least for a Fiscal year comparison they shipped 2.5 million more units of 360 comparatively to the last Fiscal year. That's definitely good. But it's obvious why revenue and profits are down. Revenue down of course because the 360 costs less and profits because they obviously aren't going to gain as much from it... if any. Even further in the last 6 months MS hasn't released a successful first party title (if any now that i recollect) so obviously that'll drive those down as well.
Now for down quarter to quarter is very interesting. It seemed that they had been selling better but maybe not. But it could be 2 things. One 360 actually isn't selling as well compared to last quarter maybe because of the economy or just that. Second, retailers may just not be buying as many as they were. 2008 was a huge year of gaming and they were buying recklessly. But gaming industry hasn't been as fortunate lately causing retailers to buy more cautiously.
