The tweet is from Asha Sharma, the leader of Xbox! > It's also only referencing hardware sales. Not the Xbox division. No??? You can quibble about the article, but you must've failed to read: > The fourth quarter alone showed a sharper split. Xbox content and services revenue, which includes Game Pass, fell 10 percent in the quarter. Hardware revenue dropped 13 percent over the same three months This is further bolstered by MS's own press release: > XBOX content and services revenue decreased 10% https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/investor/earnings/fy-2026-q4/press-release-webcast https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/investor/earnings/fy-2026-q4... > and on 2025 Q4 don't include the Xbox Hardware division, only their content division You said "I'm seeing an 11% increase in revenue from their 2025 Q4 report" When the report says: > Xbox content and services revenue increased 13% (up 12% in constant currency) In fact, there's no 11% figure anywhere in the report, so I have to assume this is what you're referring to since MS didn't break out Xbox hardware anywhere in it. This is laughably shoddy work, please don't waste my time.

Yes, I know the tweet was from Asha Sharma. The crypto site referenced throughout the site null and voided my ability to take much of it seriously. At the end of the day, videogames _are_ profitable for these shareholders, granted that as many "unnecessary" studios are closed / employees laid off, risky creative endeavors are shuttered, and subscription services + legal gambling for children are at the forefront. I don't think you know anything about the videogame industry, and certainly not as much as a developer working on a successful indie game for two decades now whom you thought was simply a game journalist.
