Xbox console sales decline continues
Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Microsoft’s continued decline in Xbox console sales continued through the last financial quarter, the company has confirmed.
In what is now a familiar pattern – and one not limited to Microsoft – revenue from gaming hardware fell again, this time by 42 percent. That’s down further on the 31 percent fall reported back in April this year, for the quarter before.
Microsoft’s gaming revenue overall was up overall by 44 percent, thanks to a significant boost from the addition of Activision Blizzard, which Microsoft bought for $68.7bn before its latest round of layoffs. Without Activision, growth would have sat around three percent.
