This is what Don Mattrick (senior VP for Microsoft's interactive entertainment unit) had to say:
"We entered into the Black Friday sales period with cautious optimism,"
Microsoft seems to have big plans for 2009. Mattrick has also said, that they are expecting an "continued global sales momentum in 2009".
Microsoft belives that the increase in sales was do to some recent realse games. Gears Of War 2 and Fable 2 were among the heavy weights.
We also believe the slashed prices also had a slight influence on the increase of sales. You can now get a Xbox 360 starting at $199, that's a great price considering it used to cost $279.
