Microsoft has finally confirmed a purchase order for some processors used in its Xbox games console. The delay is suspected to have been due to slow sales
Focus Enhancements, a small chipmaker specialising in video-related products, has received its first order from Microsoft to supply chips for the Xbox video game console. Focus signed a deal with Microsoft last year to become a supplier of TV-encoding processors, which convert PC code into signals suitable for display on a TV set.
The company joined larger Conexant Systems as one of two providers of the chips, a critical but relatively inexpensive and low-profile part of the Xbox.
