Xbox hardware revenue declined 7% (down 8% CC)
It will be interesting to see whether the recently leaked Xbox Series X console refresh has a major effect on the hardware revenue for Microsoft. The leaked FTC documents revealed a mid-generation Xbox Series X and S refresher codenamed Brooklin and Ellewood, respectively. The files also showed an updated Xbox controller with a suite of new features including haptic feedback, an accelerometer, and something called “Direct-to-Cloud”.
Today’s earnings report also showed that Xbox content and services increased by 13 percent from Q1 2023 – despite no mention of Game Pass in the reports. Overall, Microsoft earnings results beat EPS and revenue expectations, despite the hardware revenue fall.
