Something people need to realize about the +3% hardware revenue is that that isn't including the effect of price cuts, because that will be under a separate line item under costs. It really is dire.
Is that THE Welfare? lol. If so, for him to say that ... it's bad.
Yup, it's the "supply constrained" man himself
After spending 80 billion dollars, Xbox has FINALLY managed to beat Sony's revenue ...... from 6 years ago HUZZAH! 
I wonder what DeekeTweak was thinking when he made this comparison

It is him, definitely.
He got a hard time here but he's a good dude, just was a bit too optimistic about Xbox hardware.
The problem wasn't that he was optimistic about xbox, the problem was he was inserting nonsensical personal feelscrafting into his analysis. He does a generally good job keeping track of the numbers, they were at least within margin of error most of the time.
That hardware revenue growth is damning.
And not them bragging about it being their biggest Xbox quarter ever... Like all it took was buying the biggest publisher.
2024 will be the year to see the trajectory for rest of the gen for both consoles

I remember discussing this with @Bryank75 regarding the extension of the deal causing increased costs.

Such a weird comparison to make, and dudes still claim the media has it out for Xbox.
ABK had cash reserves which is what was the source of the 69b figure. ABK + 6b cash reserves, pay 75b and get 6b cash back = 69b.
Do we know it was 6b in cash? Or is it also including the 3b fee they had to pay for not closing the deal in june?
Everything I see about this business screams future third party publishing and services company, not unlike what Microsoft has historically been in the PC and phone sectors.
They’ve never made their own stuff, not for long, and I think this 20 year exception, with one console successful by historical standards, is about at an end.
I really think it’s a question to whether there’s a next Xbox. Being kind, Microsoft will have to think about whether anything will really change from this or last generation. Do they have software that can move the needle? Do they have hardware that can move the needle? If the plan is just to go out there and run the same play, they could genuinely save themselves a lot of money.
