Microsoft Doesn't Care About Xbox

影片總結

Microsoft cut 3,200 Xbox jobs, raised console prices, and spent $27 billion on AI chips amid falling Xbox sales.

Xbox revenue is sliding: Microsoft reported a 7% year-over-year decline, with console revenue down 29%, while its $41 billion quarterly infrastructure spend prioritized AI data centers. The video traces Xbox’s arc from the original console’s 24 million sales and the Xbox 360’s 84 million to the Xbox One’s costly Kinect bundle, unpopular online requirements, and years of shifting strategy. Microsoft’s $69 billion Activision Blizzard deal and other studio purchases were followed by closures, canceled games, and thousands of layoffs; new leader Asha Sharma faces further cuts and price hikes. Game Pass prices rose before being partly rolled back, while cloud playtime was capped. The central contradiction: Microsoft blames a memory and storage crunch for Xbox price increases, yet spent about $27 billion on CPUs and GPUs in one quarter and is stockpiling or renting Nvidia hardware for AI ambitions.
