The 13%+ growth is due to first party …. And Gamepass Lol

Historically, this year is likely the best year for Game Pass. Many first-party titles were added to the service, along with a game that is a clear Game of the Year contender (Clair Obscur).

 

[Flabagast]

Xbox hardware definitely dying, and dying fast

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

all thanks to the massive layoffs.

How's that profit looking, dawg?

We don't ask these uncomfortable questions in a Microsoft thread.

Eh? This post makes absolutely zero sense.

This year hasn't finshed yet. COD for starters.

 

[jm89]

That's what happens when you actually selll software on platforms where consumers buy games

GG satya.

I want to see if Microsoft will reveal sub numbers again after COD.

Every indication so far should mean stronger uptake of the sub service tbh.

Literally dragged his Gaming team by the hair to the money.

Pretty sure they've wound down the Series consoles already. So it's dead.

COD was well recieved last year and a big deal was made out of it going to GP. I don't think this years will have anywhere near the same impact, if indeed it did do numbers last year of course.

Double digit growth in every department, if you compare hardware to last Q4, nice.

Q4/FY24: -42%

 

[Rush2112]

If you're not a shareholder and you think this is good for the platform, you are an idiot. the money will go into pockets not game development.

 

[Gripsx]

 

[Magic Carpet]

Canceling the Initiative freed up a ton of money I see.
What a waste. If I was in charge I would make that developer pay all the money back in hard labor working telephone customer service.

edit-343 is on bathroom clean up dooty.

 

[Luminoth-4545]

With the 22% year over year drop in Hardware revenue, i estimate that XBS shipped 600K for the quarter.

Shipments (millions)

 

[Mr Moose]

 

[FIREKNIGHT2029]

-22% Hardware and people still think MS is releasing another console next gen

 

[Topher]

Time to lay off more people

Whew, I was afraid MS would be forced to fire thousands more employees after a bad quarter, but with profits like these everyone's jobs at MS are now safe and secure!

Serious question : why "nice" ? Do you have any stocks invested in them ?
I get that this topic has to do with statistics but again, why do you care and why "nice" ? It's a multi-billion company man, they don't need your sympathy nor your approval, just your money.

 

[ProtoByte]

The Xbox Content and Services growth can be attributed to the 16% hike in Gamepass prices compared to last year no? Mild churn there if anything.

 

[Topher]

Net Income $25.8 Billion +18%

You know.....if every employee takes a small pay cut, we may be able to squeeze out another .2 billion to make it a nice even $26 billion.

 

[Yoshichan]

holy FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

7,26% up on after hours wtf

 

[Luminoth-4545]

Nintendo's Earnings report is on Friday August 1st and Playstation's is on Thursday August 7th. My quick hardware predictions: Switch: 0.9m, Switch 2: 5.4m and PS5: 2.7m.

 

[Kerotan]

Satnya: Xbox sales are advancing right?

Phil: Yes sir, we're advancing backwards, 22%!

PS5 software sales saving them right now.

 

[Astray]

Did you take into account the new MSRPs for the Series consoles? I think this is the quarter where they went into effect.

Not sure. Price increased in July 2024.

Yup, that happened in May. This is ending June 30th.

I don't follow you. Xbox as a platform is dead. Would you rather their revenue be negative?

"Is the glass half full or half empty?"

Adamsapple: "It is full already. The water is overflowing into a different dimension. Nice!"

 

[Fess]

This is kinda awkward after the job cuts.

But this looks like easy money, I bought a couple stocks last week, 7% up at the after market. I'll sell when it opens up if I can get a game for the earnings.

 

[ProtoByte]

Not sure. Price increased in July 2024.

Wasn't that the announcement? I thought the actual hike took effect in September. But if this report's data ends June 30th, either way that price hike applies change in the numbers.

Edit: Ah. I stand corrected Mr Moose . Defaulted to quarterly thinking.

On July 10, 2024, updated prices take effect for new member subscriptions.
Starting September 12, 2024, the price of recurring charges will change for existing members.

 

[Saber]

Dont worry, firing another thousands of employees will make little bro Phil feels alot better.

 

[Conflict NZ]

Definitely expected, they are comparing to a quarter in which the only game they released was Hellblade 2, versus this year with Oblivion and PS5 ports. If Hardware was flat we probably would've seen 20%+ gaming revenue growth.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Meta blew past estimates too.

MSFT and Meta on fire. Both currently up about +8% in after hours trading.

 

[reinking]

-Xbox Hardware -22%

Oh there is a next gen Xbox console coming
