Comment on Microsoft Pushes Xbox Division to Hit Higher Profit Margins

Sony easily beat them lol.

PlayStation consoles beat Xbox consoles but that’s not the whole gaming market. Microsoft and their subsidiaries publish games for PlayStation, Nintendo, iPhones, Windows,… This is really not hard to understand.

Did you even look up the numbers?

Yep, revenue numbers from when ABK was still independent, user numbers of the various Minecraft editions, etc. All public information easily to find for any person with basic media competency.

Now go look at both companies total gaming revenue for the whole year, not just the month that the biggest game of the year releases.

PlayStations revenue is about 50% more than Xbox’s.

  Minecraft, Bethesda, and Activision Blizard are not part of Xbox. They are separate publishing arms within Microsoft. How is that so hard to understand? How can one not grasp such a simple thing?

    Their revenues are all included in Xbox’s revenue lol. Have you ever even read one of Microsoft’s earnings reports? Doesn’t look like it. If there was a “confidently incorrect” community on here your paste would be pinned to the top lol

    Now that Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo have all published their holiday earnings reports, we can compile the data and get a total sum for the entire year. According to data provided by the companies and analyzed by TweakTown, gaming’s Big 3 generated over $60 billion in combined annual revenues.
    
    PlayStation leads the charge with a staggering $30.12 billion made during the year.
    
    Microsoft is firmly in second place as Xbox tallies up to a mighty $18.128 billion. This of course includes Activision Blizzard King revenues as a result of the ABK acquisition. Xbox gaming revenues increased by 16.5% in 2023, compared to $15.563 billion in 2022. This is an increase of $2.56 billion, most of which was from the recognition of Activision’s revenues.
