Xbox hardware revenue decreased 17%, mainly due to lower volumes of Xbox 360 consoles sold. Video games revenue grew 66%, driven by sales of Minecraft.

Xbox Live monthly active users (MAU) grew 28% to 39 million during Microsoft’s last financial quarter, the company reported today; however, due to a decrease in Xbox 360 sales, revenue from consoles sales declined.

Microsoft said for the quarter ending September 30, net income came in at $4.62 billion compared to $4.54 billion year-over-year.

Revenue fell $20.38 billion from $23.20 billion year-over-year.

Dis-kinect me if old or if poorly worded.

EDIT: FULL REPORT HERE

EDIT 2: PERSONAL COMPUTING

Gaming revenue increased slightly, as growth in revenue from Xbox Live and video games was offset in part by lower Xbox hardware revenue. Xbox Live revenue increased 17%, driven by both higher volumes of transactions and revenue per transaction. Video games revenue grew 66%, driven by sales of Minecraft. We acquired Mojang AB, the Swedish video game developer of the Minecraft gaming franchise, in November 2014. Xbox hardware revenue decreased 17%, mainly due to lower volumes of Xbox 360 consoles sold.

woah, that is quite the drop

Ryng_tolu · Oct 22, 2015

XBOX hardware revenue is of course down because the 360 decline and because last year XB1 is released in others counrties...
EDIT: not XBOX shipments? Not even XBOX family!? wtf :-|

Didn't they introduce the Kinectless XB1 during this quarter last year, effectively dropping the price by $100?

What'd it originally say?

Crono27 · Oct 22, 2015

microsoft is going third party confirmed.... But it's expected with less people buying 360. Wondering how it will look come next quarter.

Possumowner · Oct 22, 2015

Minecraft obviously doing well for them.

What does MAU mean?

chadskin · Oct 22, 2015

Do they count PC players using the Windows 10 Xbox app as Xbox Live MAU?

Majmun · Oct 22, 2015

Xbox One sales outside of US and UK should be pretty bad then

Radec · Oct 22, 2015

More people that had a 360 buying the PS4 instead of the Xbone it seems.

N.Domixis · Oct 22, 2015

Some explaine I don't understand this math.

SamastahSukhino · Oct 22, 2015

If the xbox dies I hope they release their games on windows 10. I will fight for them to stay afloat and purchase another console if it helps them keep afloat.

Meanwhile, the Microsoft stock is up 6.5% in aftermarket... market cap > $400bn

Mitch · Oct 22, 2015

Well I just bought one. Let's see how things go for them during the holidays.

I googled their financial report and this is apparently all there is for Xbox data.

IvanJ · Oct 22, 2015

Revenue decreasing by 17% is pretty bad. Means that decline in 360 (which is much cheaper) cannot be offset by XOne sales. Wouldn't surprise me that XOne sales are down yoy as well.

MikeE21286 · Oct 22, 2015

Aren't the average selling prices of Xbox ones lower in 2016 compared to the same quarter in 2015?

Or is that a quarter to quarter drop? (Which would be a weird comparison to make)

Could also account for the revenue decline.

KillerMan91 · Oct 22, 2015

Wtf!? They don't give any hw shipments anymore? They are taking this to next level. Sad day for Sales-Age.

Definitely have to wait and see how the holidays go but this is why I say they can't keep lowering the price like so many believe they will.

Hasn't it been stated before that MS as a whole wants the Xbox One hardware to be profitable at some point?

Obliterator · Oct 22, 2015

Minecraft never dies

super6646 · Oct 22, 2015

No figures for shipments? OH COME ON!

Jigorath · Oct 22, 2015

Where's Xbone shipments?

Boke1879 · Oct 22, 2015

Yea it's also kinda odd shipments aren't part of this at all. They've always given them in the past right?

AnthonypUK · Oct 22, 2015

not even using Xbox family shipped figures? wonder what that says about the numbers....

Nope. Which tells us already more than enough. Not good for Xbox.

eFKac · Oct 22, 2015

This is the whole FY report?

So no shipment numbers? Fuck you Microsoft, man up or at least combine them with those tablets or whatever is in this division.

BeforeU · Oct 22, 2015

lol just saw MS stock after hours. 7% up. Hollyshit.

Kysen · Oct 22, 2015

Numbers have to be bleak to not even included shipped.

bombshell · Oct 22, 2015

Full report: http://www.microsoft.com/investor/E...s/PressReleaseAndWebcast/FY16/Q1/default.aspx

The 17% down number isn't actually for Xbox sales, but for More Personal Computing, whatever that covers.

In the grand scheme of the company the Xbox Division means nothing. Its more of a pet project / mind share for them at this point

flkraven · Oct 22, 2015

Wouldn't the $100 decrease in price also be a big contributer to the overall revenue decline?

KillerMan91 · Oct 22, 2015

Jigorath said:

Nowhere. MS is taking ''hiding bad numbers'' to next level even compared to combined shipment bs started by Sony. Sadly Xbox is so small part of MS that investors don't probably care enough call them out for this bs.

Oh, did they recoup already?

Kenzodielocke · Oct 22, 2015

a bit OT, when do we get Sony's financial reports?

zou · Oct 22, 2015

those numbers are wrong.

net income was $4.62b, up from $4.54b 2014.

edit: fixed now.

JayhawkerStL · Oct 22, 2015

I was wrong.

Troy · Oct 22, 2015

And people laughed at them for "overpaying" for Minecraft. Haha. Great numbers outside of the 360 drop, but that was bound to happen. Seems like with backwards compatibility, they don't care if they hasten it along.
