Saint of Killers wrote:Only thing stopping me from "upgrading" my console is all the chatter about PS5 and Nextbox being "half steps". So I've figured, that, if I don't upgrade now, and instead wait on the next gen proper, I'll get my full gen console leap.
I'd probably get 46p for OG hair dryer PS4.

Asked to explain the large growth registered in gaming revenue, Nadella explained that Microsoft has a strategy for the gaming segment that really helps the company articulate both the growth opportunities as well as the investment across the various layers of the business.
According to Nadella, the Xbox One is the “highest-engagement console in the marketplace.” Any time a new game releases, whether it’s first or third-party, “the fact that Xbox is where the best engagement is driven benefits” Microsoft. As a platform owner, that’s a “great growth area” for the company.
Yet the strategy doesn’t stop there, because of Microsoft has Xbox Live, Game Pass, and Mixer are all additional opportunities to “really serve the gamers” as they play more games or watch games on different platforms.
The last element, which Nadella thinks is new and is already paying its dividends on the Azure growth side is that Microsoft has taken all the knowledge of what it means to build first-party games, and has built it into services in Azure for game developers. The PlayFab acquisition speaks directly to that. Those are the levers Microsoft has in gaming, and investors will see the effects on the More Personal Computing segment and overtime on Azure.
Hood added that she expects to see in the current quarter a continuation of the growth seen in the past quarter in Xbox software and services. Part of this is consistent even going back a few quarters. It has been a double-digit growing factor for a while, and it’ll continue to be, despite the fact that there might be some volatility in the numbers.
Brian Crecente noted for Variety, Sony declared the worldwide sales of PlayStation 4 at 73.6 million units at the end of 2017. That would leave 29.4 million Xbox Ones sold, at most. Yes, the Nintendo Switch sold 4.8 million units in the U.S. by the end of 2017. EA published one title for it last year: FIFA 18, the usual toe-in-the-water that EA Sports gives to any new platform.

Microsoft has released its Q1 FY19 earnings report today and the company’s gaming revenue continues to be strong, growing 44% (up 45% in constant currency).
Microsoft hasn’t revealed the total number of Xbox consoles sold but did reveal that Xbox software and services revenue increased by 36% (up 36% in constant currency) and was mainly driven by third-party title strength. Microsoft also revealed that Xbox Hardware revenue grew by 94% (up 96% in constant currency). Lastly, Xbox Live Services grew 8% with continued growth across Xbox One, Windows 10 and on mobile platforms.
Niko Partners analyst Daniel Ahmad revealed that global sales for the Xbox One are now at 41 million units. This actually means that the global sales ratio between Xbox One and PS4, which has been 1:2 for a while, has now widened.
It also indicates that the Switch, which launched in 2017, and was coming off of the greatest failure in home console history, will end up having outsold the Xbox One by the end of this year.
