Microsoft forecasting a decline in combined Xbox and ABK biz

[Cool hand luke]

Tom Warren toeing the company line, but Neogaf's Mowcno has run the combined numbers himself:

Xbox Revenue (Quarter Ending Dec 31st 2022) - $4.76 Billion
Activision Revenue (Quarter Ending Dec 31st 2022) - $2.33 Billion
Combined Revenue (Quarter Ending Dec 31st 2022) - $7.09 Billion

Taking "mid to high 40" to mean anywhere from 44% to 49% then MS is expecting:

Combined Revenue forecast (Quarter Ending Dec 31st 2023) - $6.85 Billion ($4.76 billion +44%) (3.4% lower than Xbox+Acti 2022)
Combined Revenue forecast (Quarter Ending Dec 31st 2023) - $7.09 Billion ($4.76 billion +49%) (flat compared to Xbox+Acti 2022)

So basically they are forecasting a small decline here.

I guess they won't reach that target.

Who is this Mowcno? Seems like a useful guy!

I mean, these are forecasts and it could potentially be far worse. I don't think they have much more "Modern Warfare" in the tank... so the weaker sub franchises have to take their turn.

Then factor in Gamepass potantially cutting into revenue (Not sure if that's next year?) and PlayStation gamers (even if a minority) now staying away from the franchise.

In 2027 we can expect Micro$oft to do this

It will be interesting to see COD yearly, bi-yearly releases performance going forward.
