Microsoft's gaming revenue keeps going up, even though hardware sales are down
Briefly

Microsoft's Q1 2025 earnings reveal significant growth in Xbox content and services revenue, driven largely by the Activision acquisition, even as hardware sales decline.
The company's cloud segment showed strong growth, with revenues up to $24.1 billion, aided by a 33% increase in Azure and AI service demand.
"AI-driven transformation is changing work, work artifacts, and workflow across every role, function, and business process," said Satya Nadella regarding their strategic focus.
Despite a 29% drop in Xbox hardware revenue, the introduction of new Game Pass tiers and game titles like Call of Duty reflects strategic adaptability.
