Xbox Live hits 49M users, console sales decline 33%
Xbox hardware revenue decreased 33%, mainly due to a decline in consoles sold and lower prices of consoles sold. Xbox Live revenue increased 4%, driven by higher volume of transactions and revenue per transaction.
The firm noted that Xbox Live monthly active users (MAU) grew 33% year-over-year to 49 million. That’s a 3 million uptick in MAU since the firm announced its Q3 2016 results noting 46 million Xbox Live users.
Q4 revenue in the More Personal Computing sector, which includes Xbox products, declined 4% to $8.9 billion.
For the full year, the More Personal Computing sector reported revenue decreased $346 million or 4%, due to lower revenue from Devices and Gaming. Devices and gaming also included Surface and other products.
For Q4 of fiscal year 2016 year, Microsoft reported company wide revenue of $20.6 billion, a 7% year-over-year decline, with net income of $3.1 billion.
Full year revenue was $85.3 billion and net income reported was $16.8 billion.

FriskyPanda After being on the consoles side aka xboxs side, I am proud to say I have switched to pc gaming! No more shitty looking 720p-900p games locked at 30 fps with fps drops!!! Pc gaming is where it's at. A $375 pc can run games at 1080p 60 fps so why can't these shitty consoles do that? Cuz y'all are too dumb to switch
Oh wow guys look at the almighty PC gamer, he's so awesome for building a computer with daddy's money! Way to stick on point about the new console dipshit. The console is nice and I like that it'll bring the Xbones up above the current ps4 specs. Competition in the market is always a good thing. It's no surprise that their sales have dropped considering nobody will buy a new one now.

Wow. Everyone knows though that once the new console is released, the sales will increase severely.

What? 30 FPS? No way, Microsoft says that the Xbox One games reach 60 FPS on 1080P!!!!! Why would they lie, they have nothing to gain?!?! :P
Really though, people need to realize PC is the best way to go(Performance wise). Cheaper, easier and much less frustrating.
For Community, though, I enjoy Console. Zombies on PC is hard to get a good match, where as Console it takes just a few seconds.

It does not matter, consoles will rise in the month of August when they release the new console. And prices always increase during the fall and holiday days.
Thats what businesses and stocks rotate around, up and down graphs. Nothing fluctuates and doesn't fall.
