Microsoft has announced their fourth quarter and fiscal year financial results , and things are looking good for their Entertainment & Devices Division. And why is that? Because the Xbox 360 is part of that division.

According to the numbers, Microsoft shipped an impressive 1.7 million units of Xbox 360 consoles during their fourth quarter, which is a 200k increase from the amount sold during the last year. Thanks to the Kinect, higher Xbox Live sales, and increased Xbox Live royalties, revenue for the Xbox 360 platform grew by an impressive 29%, while Microsoft shipped 13.7 million consoles during their 2011 fiscal year. Compared with the 10.3 million they shipped during the previous fiscal year, it is pretty clear that the Xbox 360 is still going along strong.
