What were the main factors Microsoft attributed to the $1.7 billion year-over-year decrease in Xbox revenue?
Microsoft said the $1.7 billion, or 7%, decline was driven by declines in Xbox content and services and Xbox hardware. Content and services revenue fell about 5% versus a prior-year comparable that benefited from strong first-party content, partially offset by Xbox Game Pass growth, while hardware revenue dropped 29% due to lower console volumes sold. Division profits were also hit by impairment charges from cancelled projects and severance costs related to recent layoffs. Answered
