MS stock up by 20% since last month. MS Killing it.

 

[Prodyhig]

Don't worry, next quarter will be better considering the number of users who will abandon PlayStation 5 because they can't connect their consoles to the internet due to DRM.

The African market will ultimately opt for Xbox.

This guy thinks people in Africa playing on a Playstation 5 don't have access to internet.

[tylrdiablos]

Gaming rev down 7%

Time to add another tier to Game Pass, make it more convoluted and increase the price

 

[Botan32]

And Helix sales will be even worse.

Honestly, they should just cut their losses.

No one cares about Xbox hardware anymore, except for the die-hard fanboys.

Asha won't change any of that. It's over.

 

[willothedog]

Microsoft is doing rather well

• Revenue: $82.9 billion (18% increase).
• Net Income: $31.8 billion (23% increase).
• Earnings Per Share (EPS): $4.27 (23% increase).

How does hardware continue to go down by such a high percentage? Welfare said Xbox was holding better than he thought just a few days ago

Post in thread 'Circana March 2026: #1 MLB The Show, #3 WWE, #4 Marathon #5 Pokopia ; Switch 2 #1 March and YTD (+12% vs Switch 1 10 Month LTD, 2nd fastest console)' https://www.neogaf.com/threads/circ...td-2nd-fastest-console.1696060/post-271501361

 

[squallbr]

Asha gonna save like Philnóchio

 

[winjer]

Hardware sales keep going down and down.
At this rate, soon enough, the only way to go further down is if people start leaving their Xboxes at Sharma's doorstep.

 

[Labadal]

Down like Down syndrome.

 

[GOKUSSJ2]

Hardware

300k~350k units for this quarter

 

[jm89]

Negative on everything.

We are Xbox.

So even after claiming it was doing better than he thought it still ends up worst than he thought

 

[mayham2199]

I'm wondering what they are expecting for next quarter.

 

[StoopKidz]

Q1'26 was not a great quarter for discretionary spending, with consumer sentiment reaching some lows after what happened all with Iran. That said, can't say I'm surprised and hardware sales were going to be down for Xbox regardless!

 

[Killer8]

And Asha really believes that they can still release $200 million budget exclusives to these receding numbers.

It's over.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

That explains all the PR from the usual suspects over the past week lol.

 

[bitbydeath]

Microsoft needs to put focus on their studios and create new IP, their current games won't cut it for the long term. They also need to put serious money behind Elder Scrolls as that is one of their only promising upcoming games. It shouldn't just be building off the Starfield engine, it needs a whole new one.

 

[PauloRoberto]

With all due respect, PS5 and Switch 2 sort of cancel this low sentiment in regard to game market, of course

Yes, MS, the company, is equal to MS, the gaming company. And the former, with its shareholders, is oh so willing to support the latter.

Seriously, give me the same drugs you're taking. I'm not saying they may be good for you, but they certainly seem to be working, I want to give them a whirl.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Can I get Jizz Corden's or that other queeb, Hendersons thoughts on this? That's all that matters right? Someone front page that shit.

 

[PeteBull]

Imho higher chance magnus gets canceled vs it sells even 30m units, thats how dire xbox situation is worldwide.

 

[Plague Doctor]

DAMN

Xbox is as dead as Sony's Games as a Service Initiative.

That's dead as fuck.

I want to see how this gets spun. Tell us all how Asha inheritted a complete fucking train wreck but how Phil did an amazing job before she got hired..... somehow..?

Jez, entertain us like the clown you are.

 

[FIREKNIGHT2029]

The Xbox console brand is even more dead than Concord at this point. It's down every quarter for like the last 5 years. It's beyond dead, it's a zombie platform.

 

[Mr Moose]

There's the 30% they wanted, except it's -.

That's what make it fun, she actually has hope.

 

[Fbh]

Keep this in mind when Helix launches and MS is like "it has increased our hardware sales by 200%!!!!"

 

[Pop]

I really wonder why Microsoft wants to hold on to Xbox. They could drop the brand and not notice it missing

 

[bitbydeath]

[dragonyeuw]

How many Xboxes are they even selling at this point? Hardware revenue is down 30% every time, but what does that actually translate to? (no doubt the numbers are so horrific they'd rather keep that info obscure).

 

[Js562]

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Honest question.

How the fuck can your hardware decline double digits every single quarter?

Like, what's the final hardware number?

7?

I honestly don't understand the math. At some point the number has to be so low that there's no way you'll get double digit declines. And yet every single time.

Its unbelievable where xbox is now, after spend +100Bi with Studios Acquisions

 

[damidu]

dont worry, $2K Closed-PC coming to save the day

 

[uncreativename]

I think it'd be a pretty massive shockwave if Xbox died completely. It'd make Microsoft look even worse than usual, it'd be admitting total defeat to Valve, they would probably face some sort of large class action lawsuits from all the people who would lose their game libraries...

The lower the number, the proportionally higher the change becomes.

Dropping from 100 to 99 is a 1% decrease whereas dropping from 10 to 9 is a 10% decrease even though in both scenarios, the number went down by 1.

 

[bitbydeath]

They sold 2M in 2024.
2025 was likely 1M or lower.

I'd estimate they're almost at 0 now.

This was a perfect opportunity to link the "Country Grammar" video timed to the "We going down down baby" part of the song. lol
