The Baffling Economics Of The Xbox
The Xbox was Microsoft’s grand entry into the gaming space over two decades ago. At first, it seemed like Microsoft was killing it with the original Xbox and the Xbox 360, but ever since then, it has only been downhill for the Xbox. In fact, nowadays, the Xbox is only selling half as well as the PlayStation. Normally, this wouldn’t be a problem because half, as well as the Playstation, is already a boatload of units, but for Microsoft, this is not all that great as they’ve been selling the latest Xbox at a loss of up to $200 per unit. So, the only way for Microsoft to make money from the Series S and X is to sell a bunch of games and use profit from those games to offset losses from the console itself. But with a general lack of exclusives, inferior hardware to the Playstation, and a waning fanbase, it seems that this task is only going to become harder and harder with time. This video explains the challenges that Microsoft is facing with the Xbox and their desperate pivot to mobile gaming.
