Microsoft Q3/FY24 Report Highlights

800K global for 3 whole months. 😬🤣

They will genuinely struggle to hit even 4 million for the entire calendar year at this rate, let alone 5 million. Could be worst launch-aligned for a YoY drop than OG Xbox's 3rd CY > 4th CY (~ 35%).

BTW OG Xbox sold 4.1 million in its 4th CY (2005), but at least the 360 launch partly explained that (plus MS intentionally reducing production of OG Xbox to prioritize 360). Xbox Series, tracking at this pace, would barely hit 3.2 million for the entire year.

I'd wager it does between 3.6 million - 3.8 million for the entire year, but that's still a pathetic number and still below OG Xbox when launch-aligned, let alone XBO, let alone 360.

No getting these guys down!

hard again down 31% year over year after 30% drop last year. Without ABK’s influx of pre-existing revenue, xbox revenue also would have been negative. Speed up the third party bus, i shall wait for avowed till PS5, if its even good at all

Microsoft makes a shit ton of revenue in every aspect excluding the lone one I care about - consoles. UGH and SMH.

Just thought of something...

Will the next generation Xbox console(s) that are rumored to launch in Fall 2026 be over/under the 13m units that Nintendo sold with Wii U?

This makes me doubt that the reports of Microsoft working already on next Gen Xbox Hardware are the truth. What would be the sense for releasing another console generation when they likely won't achieve better results? Xbox console business has reached its decisive end.
