Xbox gaming revenue declined by 13% during the holiday quarter

The company said on Tuesday that Xbox content and services revenue for the quarter was down 12%, while Xbox hardware revenue fell 13% compared to the same period a year earlier.

Microsoft said content and services revenue was down “on a strong prior year comparable, with declines in first-party content and lower monetization in third-party content, partially offset by growth in Xbox Game Pass subscriptions”.

Xbox be like :

🖕xbox y’all got batteries

To be expected with no first party releases all year while PS5 was dropping their biggest franchises. It was a tough year but that's behind us now, 2023 is here and Xbox is fully loaded

Anyone saying Xbox has no games is a tard. There's more than enough games to play on it. Exclusives are nice but the 5 or so exclusives the consoles get each year don't make or break a platform.

Me to xbox:

They have the cheap console option that goes on sale every few weeks, and even then they have lost hardware fevenue sales ☠️

That lost is on the regular price so whit price cut they loose even more $ by serie s sold so not surprising

Too much discounts on Series S/X and people paying $1 for Gamepass didn't help. Looks like people want games, not discounts neither services.

Here’s a hint Xbox .. make some fucking good games just for series x .. and maybe il buy one ..

This is a misleading title. That doesnt mean that they are losing MONEY. In fact, it's quite the oposite.

It's crazy to get declined revenue during the holiday season. Microsoft should just kill Xbox already like they did their phones.

COS IT AINT GOT GAMES THAT WONT BE PUT ON SHOVEL PASS

Nahhh I want gamepass to continue I don't even own an Xbox but I love that system

Omgggg

Xbox just doesn’t have the games, Halo Sucks since 343 have had the franchise, Gears is old and boring, Fable is nowhere to be seen and thats literally about it.

No Fable, No Banjo Kazooie 3, No Conker , No Amped 4,No Fusion Frenzy 3, No Legacy Of Kain, No XBOX Fighting Game, No Scalebound, No Bloodrayne and No Halo Infinite DLC.

If they released games last year this wouldn’t be the case but at the end of the day they didn’t. Whether you’re an Xbox fan or PS fan you just have to admit Xbox is in a bad way right now, this year should rejuvenate them but im sceptical.

Tbh… bad for ps as well. They need Xbox to do well so they can do better as well. Every company needs an even competitor

Here comes the doomsaying. JFC….

im still looking for the series X

wtf is an xbox?

Where the hell are the games XboxP3 ?

My pick for tomorrow. Wolfenstein 3 Insanely short trailer of Elder Scrolls Starfield A new IP maybe?

they almost killed Halo. Nobody should buy their consoles. Xbox NoGames

can't wait for the day bots can find something to complain about.

Wasn't the Series S price cut $50 more for the Holliday? Lol

More than likely because PS5s became available to everyone even to walk in and buy at a store.

will only go more downhill unless we start seeing some new stuff.

Ok but Phil is a genius, the best in town 🙄

During the holidays is supposed to the biggest for most companies. Looks like they failed and all those awards were bought

Ouch and isn't that the biggest quarter of the year money wise

When PS3 was $500+and had bad 3rd party support...and Sony had few 1st party titles early in that gen... PS3 still sold incredibly well. This is because people TRUSTED Sony to provide great games down the line. No one trusts MS to do this, no one trusts them to make great games

I bought mine before the holiday rush and saved $50

🤣👉 Bwaaaaaahahahahaha… Xbox is the new SEGA

Doesn't make any sense. They had so many 1st party games over the holiday. We Xbox fans were eatin' good!...

Good Absolute trash of a console

Oh, is this another fun week?

But I thought all the talk was about how their sales were way up at that time. What’s up?

This is just grossly incompetent management. Somebody needs to be fired immediately after enjoying an intimate evening with music superstar, Sting. Where are the people responsible for this? Oh, there they are.

i mean nothing came out...

They can't even put out decent and consistent games with their in-house studios but want to buy more. Make it make sense.😐🤦🏿‍♂️

Last year, They had big releases like Forza Horizon V and Halo Infinite. No big releases this time.

Here they come….

What did they expect, they have nothing to offer not even a launch of there new console just a rental service GamePass 🤷🏻‍♂️ if they want to see growth first party games should off been there focus, Xbox has a lot off IP’s and yet they do nothing about it…

Well do you need you need to buy Xbox games when Gamepass is all you really need.

Maybe it’s time to focus on unsupported regions? More than 10 years no support in Western Europe

Probably some post quarantine losses here paired with no AAA exclusives paired with Halo Infinite losing most of its player base paired with... Shall I go on?

My big question is why you would care about Microsoft quarterly finances unless you're a shareholder.

Oh well.

This was expected though. Gow ps5 bundle, plus new Pokémon game right at holidays was killer

Well I mean they didn't release any crazy big games so who'd want one for Christmas?

In other News: Microsoft rich af

the console requires internet to setup and has no games other then forza im not surprised

Remember when Phil Spencer claimed “Game Pass leads to more game sales and not less”? Last quarter Game Pass subscriber numbers increased and yet sales are down.

Ouch

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I blame time_out00 for not getting the $250 holiday bundle, it's clearly all his fault and cutmetheslack90 🤣

Pathetic. With 23 studios they can't even launch first party titles consistently. No Triple A single player blockbuster games to draw people to buy their consoles.

In the meantime they have a showcase tomorrow you know you could say something positive about the industry it won't kill you

Well at a point people who wanted xbox will have xbox, and people who wanted ps will have ps, and sale will mostly be for those that need replacement. Why i found 'quater' sale kinda weird measurement of something that is not like more temporary.

Sinking ship

If they're not careful then Xbox will become the next SEGA.

Hardware sales down and they’re no longer reporting on gamepass numbers too.

Ok but Xbox is clear of PS & Halo is clear of god of war.
