Where are you guys getting that its up yoy?

The article says revenue is up, which could just mean the x sold for more of a profit since its  a premium console. As far as we know individual devices could have sold less than last year. I think A good indication of this is software sales being down. wich would indicate that there are less xbox gamers, but many existing ones seem to have upgraded to the x.  

To be fair, it's not even only that. Revenue is up yoy because they launched a new and more expensive console, so it's not surprising at all. But what about profits? Did they say anything about that? 

Considering the price difference between one s and one x, a 14% revenue increment probably means flat sales in the best case.

By the way, those xbox live numbers look weird and a little pointless.

This. Considering that they only mention revenue, which they definitely would have mentioned being up YOY in HW sales, I'd say it's safe to assume that they are either flat or down. And given that they were basically flat in the US for the last quarter, I'm assuming sales aren't so great WW, meaning they are probably slightly down, overall.

Why don't Microsoft give out xbox live gold numbers anymore? When was the last time they did and what were the figures?

46 million back in 2013.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2013/04/20/always-on-microsoft-xbox-live-subscriptions-up-to-46m-will-never-be-free/amp/

He was asking for Gold numbers. That article specifically mentions that the 46M also includes Silver members, too. I believe MS has stated in the past that Gold members make up ~50% of all subs, which would mean that Gold subs back then were ~23M, if that 50% held up.
