🟩 Xbox, Multi-platformXbox CEO Reacts To Yet Another Disappointing Period For Xbox
Microsoft has released its latest earnings report(https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/investor/earnings/fy-2026-q3/more-personal-computing-performance), and while the company overall posted huge gains for revenue and profit, the Xbox division continued to show downward, negative trends. The tough times at Xbox are expected to continue as well, as Microsoft forecast further declines to come. The Xbox business has been slumping for some time, so this was just the latest quarter of declines for the gaming unit at Microsoft. Xbox is part of Microsoft's "More Personal Computing" division, and gaming revenue decreased by $380 million, or 7%. The decline was driven by lower content on Xbox content and services, and hardware results coming in softer. Xbox content and services dipped by 5%, while Xbox hardware revenue slumped by 33% due to fewer consoles sold. Gross margin for the entire More Personal Computing division increased by 6%, driven by Microsoft's advertising and gaming businesses, the company said. Additionally, a benefit to selling fewer consoles meant that cost of revenue decreased by 10%, falling to $584 million. That's not entirely attributable to lower Xbox sales, though, as Microsoft offers a variety of other hardware platforms.

🎮 PlayStation, Xbox, Multi-platformXbox Games On PlayStation Have Made A Staggering Amount Of Money, Report Says
Microsoft's decision to release more of its games on the PlayStation 5 has apparently led to a big windfall for the company, as a new report said Xbox games on PlayStation have made more than $650 million in gross revenue so far. This report from Alinea Analytics(https://alineaanalytics.substack.com/p/which-xbox-games-have-sold-over-100k) came out not long after new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma said she and her leadership team, including chief content officer Matt Booty, would consider changes to the company's controversial multiplatform strategy(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/microsoft-gaming-is-dead-to-be-replaced-by-return-to-xbox-branding-report/1100-6539586/). The report said Forza Horizon 5, which came to PS5 in 2025, made up $323 million in gross revenue alone after selling more than 5.8 million copies on Sony's console. Sea of Thieves ranked second in terms of copies sold on PS5, reaching 2.7 million units and around $100 million in revenue. Oblivion Remastered was third, selling a reported 1.2 million copies on PS5 and generating $58 million in revenue. Those were the only three Xbox games to clear 1 million in sales on PS5, according to the report, but Grounded ranked No. 4 with 770,000 copies sold and $24 million in revenue. The report did not include Call of Duty games, which are now owned by Microsoft following its buyout of Activision Blizzard.
