What news are you referring to? The only news about Xbox I've caught is that it's declining in profit because they removed Xbox exclusives.
However beyond XBOX, Microsoft is one of the biggest publishers as per amount of owned studios especially since ABK acquisition, so even when XBOX is doing bad, Microsoft Publishing is doing great.
> In the last couple of weeks there's been some good news coming through for Xbox
Since I wasn't sure what good news they were referring to.
They also gave away free Xbox consoles to attendees at Xbox fanfest.
