Xbox hardware revenue decreased 33%, mainly due to a decline in consoles sold and lower prices of consoles sold. Xbox Live revenue increased 4%, driven by higher volume of transactions and revenue per transaction. Well XOne hardware must be down quite a bit (for reference in the previous years quarter it was 1.4 million XOne's and 360's shipped) |
correct, but bear in mind 2 important things
1. microsoft discontinued the xb360 in Q3FY16, aka last quarter
2. microsoft numbers as sold in, aka sold to retailers. Right now, they clear stock for the old Xbox One, because the new Xbox One S will launch in this Quarter July - September. Low numbers are expected
