درآمد مایکروسافت از فروش ایکس باکس ۱۴ درصد افت کرد

Microsoft's financial report for the first quarter of its fiscal year shows a 14% decline in Xbox hardware revenue compared to the previous period. Simultaneously, the platform's content and services segment experienced a 2% drop, driven largely by lower revenues from Xbox Game Pass subscriptions and third-party product sales.

Increased sales from Microsoft's first-party studio exclusives helped offset some of these losses. The performance comes as Microsoft continues to pivot its distribution strategy, increasingly bringing its exclusive titles to rival gaming platforms.

The Xbox gaming division has undergone sweeping structural changes, layoffs, and studio reorganizations following the appointment of Asha Sharma to leadership. Despite these operational hurdles, CEO Satya Nadella previously expressed optimism regarding the gaming segment's outlook, stating his belief that the Xbox division will return to growth before the end of the current fiscal year.

Looking ahead, Microsoft's long-term hardware strategy is focused on its next-generation console ecosystem, codenamed Project Helix, which is expected to include a family of devices. Following collaboration with ASUS on devices like the ROG Ally X, rumors suggest Microsoft may introduce a portable handheld console next year, followed by a primary home console release in 2028.
