Yes, is called PS6. Everything is an Xbox, remember?

I guess that their plan is it to let different manufacturers build Xbox devices, like the Asus Ally X and like the old 3DO and that MS gave up the try as a hardware manufacturer and to go all in as a publisher.

It is going to be interesting to see how they balance price and profitability on the next console. I assume they are going for a significant profit on the sale of each console sold so.....

Maybe but it will be out likely at least a year before the PS6

Day one, if it retains current console BC (and X360 BC).

My MSFT looking good today boyz
228,000 employees, the same as the same period in 2024 despite the layoffs... More or less the same number I calculated in the layoffs thread. It will be interesting to see if new hires next year, during this same period, offset previous layoffs like those in July. Given the momentum of AI, I think it will be a bit more difficult.
As usual, hirings happen throughout the year (there are tons of job openings currently open), but layoffs tend to happen suddenly and in large numbers, and they're the ones that get the most attention due to the human tragedy they represent. Add to that the embarrassing manner and lack of empathy with which MS announces these layoffs, and it's understandable that people, even seeing that numbers, have a different feeling.

No? They're releasing a Super PCMR branded Xbox and a fad handheld Xbox, going for the latest rumors, the era of dedicated Xbox gaming systems is over-22% Hardware and people still think MS is releasing another console next gen

That doesn't mean Xbox is getting those new hires. By all accounts they're slowly getting gutted.

They're releasing dedicated hardware, we have the sauces even in here confirming it.
I'll retire on Microsoft stock at this point.

Layoffs are always skewed like that.
For whatever reason the only time you hear about hiring sprees is when Amazon or Walmart do their annual "We need to hire 50,000 extra people for the Xmas rush". Other than that and maybe a new car plant opening where they brag 2,000 more jobs are created, nobody goes around telling the world they hire tons of people throughout the year or decades. In fact, any companies that never gone through a big organized layoff you'd never hear one article about them hiring or firing.
Given that, numbnuts would think the company has zero employees. But in fact maybe they got 10,000 smoothly hired upwards the past 20 years.
Many companies dont even tell you how many employees they have unless you read their annual reports or go on wikipedia (which that people count will probably come from an earnings report).

Ya. MS gets 70%. If Halo sells great on PS and Switch, MS software sales will be even better.

Anyone see where those gamepass sub numbers went
Nadella claimed that Game Pass alone made nearly $5 billion in revenue for the first time. For extra context, Nintendo's total revenue in 2024 was $8 billion.

Cool. MS is the king of giving you all the numbers except the ones you really want.
Good for them though this is great to see and glad they did well this time around. Going to be a real gut punch for the devs getting laid off next month.

Who did they fire? People made redundant yes, there is a big difference.

Price increase announcement was in July but it didn't go into effect until mid September I believe.
Edit: I see this has already been corrected. My mistake. Got to love how they staggered it to show growth in the upcoming quarters by doing nothing.

That's before expenses though, especially 1st party dev costs. Actual profit is much less.

With net income of only $24.8 billion , Satya clearly has to fire more people to burn on the CoPilot altar! /s

I will buy it if they restart the BC program again and get more "magic" for upscaling old games.

This thread while ignoring the context of numbers, basically. Again, absolutley no details about gaming performance outside of moot percentages and no GP users update.
We literally have the console specs already lmao-22% Hardware and people still think MS is releasing another console next gen
StreetsofBeige

It is.
No different than ultra profitable Walmart and Amazon hiring endless numbers of workers to work the Xmas rush. Hire workers when they are needed, keep ones that are worth keeping around for years or decades, and sometimes you got to get rid of dead weight.
Or in the gaming realm, Sony's last earnings report had incredible profits back to the covid spike. And they still fired 40 people from Bend. Ya, 40 people. A google check says Sony's gaming division has about 12,000 people, yet they couldnt even bother trying to fit in 40 people somewhere else to keep them on the payroll.
Nobody said private businesses are charities. In fact, at least businesses pay money. A lot of charity jobs are volunteers and not paid a dime, yet the CEO or President can somehow make millions.

Yes. They stopped home consoles and made a tablet that can be played on a TV. They were forced to combine their handheld and console businesses into one product.

Except for the one you truly care about deep down in your heart, and you know it
Also almost $5 billion for Game Pass doesn't mean much without knowing the sub count. Last sub count was 41 million (including like 11 million GP Core who were XBL Gold converts), so ~ $121/year average per sub or ~ $10/mo per sub.

They merged their consoles because they wanted, not because they needed. Nintendo has enough cash to survive 3 or 4 consecutive Wii U "failures".
The same can't be said for Sony that 100% killed their handheld division and had to start using laptop APUs because the PS3 almost bankrupted them.
