Xbox FY21 Q3 earnings : Gaming revenue up 50%, Xbox content and services revenue grew 34% & Xbox hardware revenue grew 232% driven by Xbox Series X|S
- Thread starter JINX
- Start date
That is insane!Jesus MS as a whole earned $40 billion in revenue?
I wonder how long before they become the next 2 trillion dollar company.
Every unit Xbox has shipped up to today could have been there in 2020 and would have still sold out.
PS5 as well.
ZhugeEX : Minecraft 140m MAU & Xbox growth is being driven both on and off console
I estimated launch quarter to be ~3.2M, so yeah right in the middle of that range.
If I told you Sony tried to moneyhat it for exclusivity
And pointed to their track record of solid third party investments that paid off and games sold like crazy
Would you then understand why this game will do gang busters? They would know better than any of us. For all we know Sony and Microsoft saw part of it running already.
This is the IP everyone wanted to bring to the dance, just so happens Microsoft is bringing them to the dance now, but also taking them to the after party (Steam, Gamepass, Mobile)
it's going to hit numbers for sales, for pushing hardware, pushing Gamepass and pushing xcloud. That's a lot of avenues that can benefit from growth.
Agreed. Nice to see Microsoft continue to do well. Here's to hoping there's some good hits out by the end of the year.
there inching really close to 2 Trillion and they are at like 1.98 Trillion
Gaming revenue alone is 15bill TTM
MS made 15.5 bill profit in the quarter
Minecraft marketplace creators have made $300 million from a billion downloads of mods through the in game store
For context, Roblox paid its developer base $125 million in 2019, and Roblox estimated that they would pay their developer base double that in 2020.
Xbox revenue guidance for next Q : "expect revenue growth in the mid to high single digits", Xbox Series X/S: supply constraints will continue & Xbox content and services: "revenue to decline in the mid to high single digits" (due to strong Q last year)
Obviously it would be illegal to not put them there and not sustainable at the same time
Me and everyone i know? I guess we dont work in industriea where its standard. Or its just not very common where i live. Im not the person you're replying too. Just giving my perspective. Personally i dont know anyone who has it. I know its popular so the numbers dont surprise me. But i wouldnt be surprised if they were a lot lower too just based on my surroundings.
Great numbers! And they haven't even started with their first party titles. Numbers will be bonkers in 2022 and the years after that.
It's because Microsoft's gaming revenue last year in the first months of lockdown was very strong. With the supply constraints Microsoft doesn't think it can beat last years revenue.
Not really. That quarter last year was the first big covid/quarantine quarter so thats why that quarter was exceptionally good
I sometimes wonder if Mattrick, with his TV TV TV and Kinect obsession, and Terry Myerson, who seemed to have tightened the belt on Xbox while it was under his Windows division from 2014-2017, see results like these and think back on their decisions.
In any case, it's so great to see Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo all doing well with their own approaches.
Not really. Comparing year over year, Q4 2020 for gaming was massive for MS driven by covid. Seeing a minimal gain would make sense as it would be back to a normalized demand vs the massive demand they had same time last year.
Impressive, this gen will be close.
XsX probably is the best console they ever made.
I have 4 casual gaming friends that want an X but probably not until they can pick up in a store. I don't see that until a year from now.
By far their best console, and the OG and 360 were no slouches either.
Profit is boring for a $2t company and doesn't speak to growth.
The big takeaway from all of this is this may be the first time in history 3 main platform providers all look to be doing very good. It is about time we had some strong competition all around.
Xcloud coming to Microsoft Teams, so we can play games while the boss is presenting a powerpoint.
For context, Sony announced they had shipped 4.5 million PS5s by the end of last year. So, if this estimate is accurate, Xbox is nowhere as far behind as I thought.
This seems like a comment people are going to interpret wildly differently depending on personal preference lol
I agree that's why when someone said yesterday that gamepass ain't for casuals I was confused. Cloud is more than a nice to have benefit for rich kids. It opens up the world of high end gaming to people who typically can't afford it.
I mean they will gain share market ww. The diff in hw will be more like 360/ps3 than last gen.
Interpretation 1 - gamepass is a money loser and will end at some point.
Interpretation 2 - gamepass isn't sustainable because it will only get bigger and grow the whole industry
