Microsoft’s gaming revenue fell four percent and Xbox hardware revenue declined 30 percent in the latest financial quarter, the company has reported.
While Microsoft does not report console sales and did not provide an updated number for Game Pass subscribers (it had 25m as of January 2022), it’s clear the company is struggling to sell Xbox consoles. In fact Xbox console sales have struggled for some time. Xbox Series X and S sales were down during the crucial holiday quarter last year, and it looks like they were down in the quarter ending 31st March this year, too.
The only bright spot for Microsoft was a slight three percent increase in Xbox content and services revenue. The company said this was “driven by better-than-expected monetisation in third-party and first-party content, and growth in Xbox Game Pass”.
