As a long-time gamer and Xbox enthusiast, I must admit that this recent quarterly report from Microsoft has left me a bit concerned about the future of my beloved console. The 29% drop in Xbox hardware sales compared to last year is definitely a cause for worry, especially considering the strong competition with PlayStation 5.
This week, Microsoft shared its Q1 2025 financial report, which contained updates regarding their hardware division. Regrettably, the Xbox hardware segment didn’t perform well this quarter. In fact, it experienced a decrease of approximately 29% compared to the same period last year, serving as a minor setback amidst Microsoft’s otherwise robust performance.
This week, Microsoft disclosed its Q1 2025 financial report for investors, revealing a drop of 29% in Xbox hardware sales compared to Q1 2024 on their official website dedicated to investor relations.
Although the Xbox Series X and S have been holding their ground against the PlayStation 5, it’s noticeable that there aren’t as many exclusive games available on Xbox compared to other platforms. As we move deeper into the console generation, it seems that Microsoft has shifted its focus towards enhancing Xbox services, which experienced a 61% growth year-over-year in this period. Additionally, advancements in Microsoft’s cloud services contributed to their success in meeting earnings-per-share and revenue targets for Q1 of 2025.
Microsoft has consistently focused on offering a competitive gaming console, as demonstrated by their announcement of new editions of the Xbox Series. It’s intriguing to speculate whether they will continue to prioritize the console market given their numerous other ventures. Keep an eye out for more news right here at Shacknews.
