The weirdest thing about gaming discourse is how people get attacked for their preferred platform. Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo, PCโฆ who cares? Weโre all here because we like games. Sales numbers and quarterly reports donโt change what you enjoy playing.
They love using Xbox as a coping mechanism i see
Comparing latest quarterly results from #Microsoft #Xbox and #Sony #PlayStation. Both over the same period to Sep 30 2026.
Xbox Q1
Total gaming revenue -2% โ
Content/services -2% โ
Hardware revenue -14% โ
PlayStation Q2
Total gaming revenue +9% โ
Network Services +20% โ
Hardware revenue -5% โ
While PlayStation's growth outside of hardware is still strong, Xbox's continues to decline and falter. Both should see bumps next quarter thanks to GTA 6.
PlayStation's revenue for the quarter was $7.59bn IAS 21 currency average adjusted, while Xbox's was $5.38bn. So PS's is 41% higher.
It's still wild PlayStation enjoys such a revenue advantage given Xbox acquired both ABK and Zenimax, totalling $83.5bn in costs alone.
Typically late into a gen declines are normal, which somehow PlayStation is avoiding in overall revenue due to especially strong Network Services and Game Software sales.
While PS5 unit sales are down 35% due to a combination of high price increases and typical late gen decline, one impact of price increases is comparatively lower hardware revenue decline, -5% for PS and -14% for Xbox (Xbox reports YoY hardware revenue changes, not units).
Xbox made an estimated $330m in hardware revenue, while PlayStation made $1.38bn, and sold over 5x more units.
Where things get sticky is that Xbox has seen 11 quarters or nearly 3 years of hardware decline in a row, so things are dire for Xbox as a console, more than perhaps the data even reveals at first glance.
That Xbox's overall revenue and even content and services revenue is declining the way it has been, after ABK, PC day and date, releases like Forza Horizon 6, Black Ops Ports, Halo Campaign Evolved, Minecraft Dungeons II etc, a bigger multiplatform push and Game Pass price increases (even after the recent price drop), is also disconcerting.
---
P.S. some have questioned how specific revenue is reported despite Xbox not revealing exact figures in their annual reports. It's calculated based on % changes from when they did announce revenue figures. coupled with further clarification from more recent public figures (ABK recenue, FTC data etc).
So the reason wolverine only did 2 Mil cause it was only on one platform lol yall fanboys gotta stop moving the goalposts ๐

You see this bs @Lee319303925445
Not driving console sales and being unsuccessful arenโt the same thing. Xbox seems to be chasing players across PC, cloud, Game Pass, and console, not just hardware sales.
This is exactly the kind of post that gets people arguing past each other. One side is talking about console sales, the other side is talking about Game Pass, PC, cloud, and ecosystem growth. Both walk away thinking they won the argument. ๐๐ฅด
