For some reason they started explicitly listing gaming earnings again.

$1.896b in gaming revenue for the quarter. Did not backfill previous quarter's revenue numbers.

Gaming related details:

• Gaming revenue declined 5% (down 4% in constant currency) driven by lower Xbox console revenue offset by higher Xbox software and services revenue
• Xbox Live Monthly active users grew 21% to 47 million
• Xbox One won US console market share for Q1, driven by the launch of Xbox One S and new Xbox One game titles

Important to note the MAU number is down from previous quarter by two million. The 21% is referring to year over year.

Was there some secret announcement from the mods that people can shitpost about Switch today? This shit has been hilarious 😂

 

[bombshell]

Still no hardware numbers, only "hardware volume down".

 

[shandy706]

Listing gaming revenue in earnings reports again?!!

This is sick, pathetic, and disgusting.

Spoiler

Did I miss any words people like to use that don't belong in the conversation?

I wish all the companies would just give us all the number every time for everything.

MAU down, revenue up?

From previous quarter MAU is down, don't know the gaming revenue of previous quarter so not sure.

YOY, MAU up, revenue down.

So declining revenues due to both lower Xbox sales and prices.
Not a really good quarter.

[Kolx]

So even with the launch of the XOne S they still had less revenue than last year?! That doesn't look too good.
