To be fair, I bet Microsoft paid retailers back for some of those gift card incentives in 2014. So the revenue difference per One sold probably wasn't all that huge. Just enough that slightly higher sales couldn't make up for it.
The only conclusion I can reach is that that 360 unit sales decline must have been larger than the Xbox One unit sales increase, since even at the lower price Xbox One unit sales are more expensive than Xbox 360 unit sales.
Lower hardware revenue in the biggest quarter of the year for hardware sales isnt good.,
Legit Question:
How big of a presence is Windows 10 supposed to have at the Microsoft gaming conference on February 25th...?
I want to hear more about the company's overall Windows 10 strategy as it relates to gaming. By that date, we'll be nearly a full year since Phil's GDC appearance when he discussed cross-buy and cross-play between Xbox One and Windows 10.
MAUbe? MAUbe not
The Xbox One isn't even picking up its own slack. In order to sell more in 2015 they had to drop the price, but the resulting increase in sales wasn't even enough to cover that loss, much less the continued decline of 360.How is X1 not picking up the slack of 360? 360 had to be selling next to nothing the past year.
People are shitting MS for using MAU, but look at us: endlessly debating an all but meaningless number that can be spun in either direction depending on where your biases lie.
Clearly its working as intended.
lol it really isn't.
So, looks like Xbone sales are down if Xbone didn't pushed sales enough for positive hardware revenue even if X360 sales are low.
9 million new MAU?! Isn't this a bit too high? Dies this include W10 then?
They did drop the price. So technically they could have sold more but taken a hit due to the price drop. I get why you'd see it the way you do, but I'm just saying.
Lol, that sounds like sales talk! But seriously, I like Lumias too.Glad to hear that, well deserved for Xbox, i'm also enjoying my Surface pro 4 a lot, what a great all in one device, it's a shame instead that Lumia phones sales are een lower than before, I've got a 950XL and I like it a lot, it would be sad if Microsoft had to shut down the phones division, I think windows 10 mobile has a great potential, and hardware wise Lumia are pretty good too
Are you referring to $299 v. $329?Price were almost the same in 2014 and in 2015.
It wasn't the same, and not WW either.Price were almost the same in 2014 and in 2015.
Would be nice if MS stopped playing Cats and MAUs and released the numbers.
But X360 sales can't be so much in decline to cause such a drop in Xbox hardware revenue cuz X360 sales are low WW in past 1.5-2 years anyway. So, Xbone price were almost the same in 2014. and 2015. and probably Xbone sales WW compared to previous quarter are flat or lower.
It's versus Q4 of 2014, not Q3 of 2015. It does include Live accounts on Windows 10.9 million new MAU?! Isn't this a bit too high? Dies this include W10 then?
But not the exact same. Again, the report specifically says they sold more units of Xbox One (but for lower revenue). It's pointless to try and figure out the exact numbers, anything anyone says will be total guesswork.Price were almost the same in 2014 and in 2015.

Why? So Sony can then release their numbers and make MS look like chumps? Lets us never forget the "Playstation Family" shit Sony pulled when the 360 was kicking its ass stateside.
"Playstation Family" or not at least they gave us some kind of numbers.

Presumably, any user/device that pings Microsoft's server within a 28 day period.
Yes.

yup, I have a few lumia phones as backups and tried the surface pro 3 for a week before sending it back. Ms makes good hardware, problem is there software is too bloated for average consumers IMO. The pen experience was not as reliable or helpful as I was expecting, Windows still has a lot of catching up to do. I think there phones are just too late to the party, so many apps not supported on it, and honestly, I think IOS and Android satisfies most users for choice.Glad to hear that, well deserved for Xbox, i'm also enjoying my Surface pro 4 a lot, what a great all in one device, it's a shame instead that Lumia phones sales are een lower than before, I've got a 950XL and I like it a lot, it would be sad if Microsoft had to shut down the phones division, I think windows 10 mobile has a great potential, and hardware wise Lumia are pretty good too
I thought Sony switched to "PlayStation Family" sales numbers with those systems. I didn't realize they went with just MAU type reports.
No Man, Hell no.

Quarter after quarter MS releases results that the market likes and reacts to positively (shares are up 3% after the news) yet you wouldn't know it by reading the gaming side of NeoGAF.
Nothing but negative spin and whining about not getting exact numbers. Let it go people. How long have they been doing this now? And why should they change? Just to provide fodder for angry internet warriors?
Billions of dollars in profit. Oh shit, the end is near!
Has MS ever defined what a "monthly active user" is?
