Be honest, do you think Microsoft will make another console?

Reports from their quarterly results came in. Their hardware has been crashing multiple quarters now, like end of generation numbers thats you only see after a new console gets launched.

Xbox FY Q4 HW revenue YoY change:
FY21: +172%
FY22: -11%
FY23: -13%
FY24: -42%

They had a 31% decline in hardware revenue last quarter also.

The CFO also said that they are trying to transition to be more of a games a subscription Service business.



They also expect more declines this current quarter.




Mind you, they had their highest drop in hardware sales in the June where they had “their best showcase ever”, what would it take to save their hardware business? The only thing generating revenue for the gaming division at the moment is ABK. Otherwise they are in the red on all other gaming segments

TBH i don’t even know how Microsoft makes it 4 more years with the series x/s consoles flatlining. I’ve never seen consoles sell so little and be kept in production for that long.

But then you look at the Surface division..

I don't know if they'll release another console but I do know that whatever the decision is, xbots will proclaim it to be the wisest decision since Solomon asked the baby to be split in two.

also, no mention of Hellblade 2 in any of the reports. I think fair to say this was written off as an accounting error

No saving this gen because they phoned it in relying on theoretical numbers to do all the work like it's the Bit Warz again.

They probably morph into some streaming-oriented Xbox thing. Basically have that market to themselves at this point. They expressed "competing" against Amazon, Google, etc. but none of those companies are gushing over their cloud gaming bleeding money, even competing with no one. Stadia got Googled, Luna is about as memorable as the rug at your front door, and nVidia pulls back enough every so often like ditching GameStream.

They let Spencer work them out of the mainstream console business. All he did was spend money that wasn't his, encouraged the spiral with his horrible management plays at the 1st and 2nd party studios, and feels like he did an amazing job in losing more market share.
