So this article is incorrect? Is it how they work out the numbers?
Not trying to troll but apart from Playground games, what talent?Talent always wins.
Great results. To think 2 years ago everyone was dooming them.

here we are.....Mods seriously?
Fuck outta here with post like this
I'm still waiting for an answer. Like Xbox had am increase in revenue thanks to third party titles, most likely Fortnite. You can't attribute that to Microsoft.
Only on Xbox.
Actually yeah I made a mistake there. I always associate turn 10 with forza even though this year it was horizon's year so I should attribute that to playground games
Sea of Thieves? State of Decay 2? But you already know that do you? You're here just for console wars trollingI'm still waiting for an answer. Like Xbox had am increase in revenue thanks to third party titles, most likely Fortnite. You can't attribute that to Microsoft.
Apart from that what did they even do or release (apart from forza) in the last year?

Yes, it was up in US as of Dec 2018. But huge drop off from June 2018 till end of 2018 in US ( their strongest market ) means decline ROTW is big. Even though it was already 25% down before. Like @girgosz said
I wanted to say, their cloud business is a fucking gold mine. I guess it's even more worth than that.

Did those two titles actually do well? Did they do well enough to push Xbox's performance? Did they do well in he last quarter (which is the source of this topic)?Sea of Thieves? State of Decay 2? But you already know that do you? You're here just for console wars trolling

I'm not trolling. I genuinely don't know what big things did Xbox do in the last quarter that we should praise the "talent". Like the earnings call says Xbox revenue is up thanks to third party software

Sales don't really matter anymore with Microsoft since gamepass, and that's awesome. I hate fucking sales talk/threads.Did those two titles actually do well? Did they do well enough to push Xbox's performance? Did they do well in he last quarter (which is the source of this topic)?

Lol. Its good to see them doing well. MS as a company has never been in a better place. Nadella was the right choice.But but but... excluzives and wurldwide!!1!?!

Congrats Xbox
Satya said:And now I'll turn to gaming. We continue to pursue our expansive opportunity to transform how games are distributed, played and viewed. Our investments in content community and cloud services across every endpoint drove both record user engagement and record average revenue per user and contributed to our largest gaming revenue quarter ever, driven by software and services.
Amy said:Additionally, strong subscriber growth across Xbox Live and Game Pass helped to offset lower-than-expected performance from other third-party titles on the platform. Xbox hardware performed better than expected but declined year-over-year given the holiday launch of the Xbox One X a year ago.
Amy said:Segment gross margin dollars increased 6% and 7% in constant currency, and gross margin percentage decreased due to sales mix to our lower-margin Surface and gaming businesses.
Amy said:In gaming, we expect revenue growth to be slightly higher than last quarter. Sales mix will shift to software and services where we expect healthy growth.
Satya said:When I look at every business becoming a digital business and then take that opportunity and map that to our capability, we have the broadest platform of anyone in the tech sector to really help every customer in every country become that digital business. And we have the business model that aligns with them and their interests and the trust. And so therefore, from a secular perspective, we are all in on making sure that we invest in our commercial cloud as well as our investments in things like gaming and going after the opportunity that is there in front of us.
Thanks for this.Highlights from their conference call to discuss the earnings report.
I still can't find anything about Hardware being 2% up or 10% up or 10% down in 2018 vs 2017 in any press coverage of NPD.
Instead of coming into a thread whilst being completely ignorant, next time do a little research, or at least don't post disparaging remarks before you pose a question.Did those two titles actually do well?

The talent of the hardware engineers that created X. Hardware is down but think how it could be without the X.Not trying to troll but apart from Playground games, what talent?
well said.The talent of the hardware engineers that created X. Hardware is down but think how it could be without the X.
The talent of the people that are working on Game Pass
The talent of the people that are making Xbox Live still attractive.
The talent of the people that are adding features to the Xbox Store that make it more attractive.
The Talent of the studios that have released games for xbox this year because even if the growth is third party titles, because everything adds up.
They don't care about hardware, it's a necessary expense to sell software and services for the time being. It will shrink as a percentage of the Xbox business over time but Xbox revenue and profit will continue to grow.Yeah it was up 2% in the US and down in the rest of the world. Hurray. That supposed to be good? Thats like saying PS4 is doing incredible in Japan because it sells a little faster than PS3. The point I'm trying to make that hardware is not doing too good and MS is trying different tactics. If their cloud stuff works out next-gen hardware might become even more insignificant to them.

"will" indicates a prediction based on their strategy and the fact that software and services are high profit margin businesses whereas console sales historically have been loss leaders or low profit margin at the tail end of the cycle.

I mean the quarterly report does support my thesis with games business up overall while the hardware is sagging a little.
Profit growing? Source?
Edit: Besides, your basically saying the same thing as me. Though It's not that they don't care. Of course they care lol. Hardware is not doing good thats why they're trying different business models like subscription services, Windows store, Play Anywhere etc

+the guys from the controller team. Adaptive controller and Elite, nothing can touch that for quality and innovation.+
The talent of the people who made XB1 backwards-compatible.
The talent of the people who established a unified ecosystem across platforms (a challenge that their competitor seems to be struggling with, since their offering is a fragmented mess).
The talent of being able to keep multiplayer servers online for longer than 2 years.
Nice job of actually answering my questions or engaging with my comment.
TotallyAzure isn't a close second, and the gap is getting bigger. AWS is growing faster than Azure in absolute numbers.This is from the most recent reinvent.
Do those statistics include gamepass plays or are we talking about raw sales?5+ million have played Sea of Thieves (data from august), 4 million people have played State of Decay 2.

Totally
This chart with no x or y axis or labels of any kind totally proves it
