درآمد مایکروسافت از فروش ایکس باکس ۱۴ درصد افت کرد

Microsoft has released its financial report for the first quarter of fiscal year 2027, highlighting a 14% decrease in Xbox hardware revenue compared to the previous period. Additionally, the platform's content and services sector experienced a 2% decline, which was primarily attributed to lower revenues from the Xbox Game Pass subscription service and products from third-party publishers.

Despite the downturn in hardware and subscription revenues, the growth in sales of exclusive games from internal studios managed to offset some of the financial losses. In recent months, Microsoft has adopted a shifting approach regarding the release of its proprietary titles on competing platforms.

Following the appointment of Asha Sharma to lead the gaming division, Microsoft's gaming sector has undergone structural transformations, layoffs, and a review of its studio organization. Despite these hurdles, new management decisions have fostered optimism among users. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella previously stated his belief that the Xbox division will return to a path of growth by the end of the current fiscal year.

Looking ahead, Microsoft's future hardware plans are centered around the next-generation Xbox console, codenamed Project Helix, which will encompass a family of devices. Collaborations with ASUS and explorations of the ROG Ally X have paved the way for the design of new portable gaming devices. Industry rumors suggest that a handheld console could be introduced next year, followed by the main home console release in 2028.
