I think the customers decided that long ago in those areas

I think the bigger issue will be europe.
They sold an estimated 10k in July in Mainland Europe(excluding Germany and UK).

Looks like the rumours about MS winding down Xbox hardware outside America are true then. Saudi will be one of many countries.
With software sales so low MS can’t afford to keep selling subsidised consoles, the business model just doesn’t work. The only reason they increased revenue this year was Activision increasing activity, and that’s mainly game sales on PC and PS5.
At this stage it’s difficult to see Xbox selling more than 40m units this generation.

Soo....MS is going to be pouring R & D into 'the biggest leap ever' next gen console that clearly won't sell on a global scale. Something is amiss....

They're like the opposite of Oprah.
YOU don't an Xbox. And YOU don't get an Xbox!

Maybe they just need more effective marketing, like an Xbox Series X bundle with a G-Wagon.

Let companies like Asus take on that burden with the next "Xbox" "console"

A PC cobbled together with “off the shelf” parts and not subsidised.

I wonder how it's feasible to have a hardware-based AI upscaler (meaning you have to design and manufacture some sort of custom chip) when you're not manufacturing the "consoles" though?
Would be extreme lmao material if they go with software-based (basically their version of FSR) and try selling that as superior.

Well, if every device becomes an Xbox, there's no need for Xbox ...

Abandoning territories, great strategy.
They’re leaving with their tails between their legs.

In most stores there is only a small xbox section with game pass and the consoles

First the customers, then the retailers who relegated less and less shelf space to Xbox products till the point there was nothing left, and then finally MS.

Thank you for acting with your conscious, Microsoft.
I would not want to support the economy of a country which degrades women, the poor, and homosexuals, either.
Imagine sentencing people to death for witchcraft and sorcery because they don't believe in some shitty fairytales, in 2024!
Dignity prevails at Xbox

Or a gold-plated Xbox. My Arab bros would have eaten that up.

This thread will have more posts than actual LTD Xbox sales in Saudi
So its no big deal if MS continued or stopped there.
