Microsoft: Gamers Spend 5 Hours a Day on Xbox One

4.2
During Microsoft’s quarterly earnings conference call Chief Financial Officer Amy Hood mentioned that ad revenue on Xbox Platforms has increased.

In addition to that, she gave some more information about the engagement of users with the new console and promised better services, especially outside the US:

"Xbox One has sold-in over five million units since launch, and engagement has been high, with users spending nearly five hours per day on their console. We will continue to extend the unique value proposition of the Xbox One, particularly in markets outside the US."

"Xbox 360 exceeded our expectations this quarter, and across the platform, Xbox Live members continue to embrace the service, with transactional revenue growing 17%. We do expect to work through some inventory in Q4."

Guns I love the xbox one that's why i spend my time on it!


I love my Xbox one also but it gets boring real fast because none of my friends have one or when I try to play online my xbox decides it doesn't want to work...

I play Xbox One when I want to play FIFA 14 on my own or Titanfall with a friend but because most of my friends don't have Xbox One, I just use my Xbox 360 more. I also use my Xbox 360 more due to it actually turning off after the hour and not staying on the whole night like my Xbox One does :P

ROI
Miss That figure will go up a lot once newer games and such come out for the console. I can see it going up to ten easily.


10 hours is a little extreme. The console base is majority casuals, no way will it double to 10 hours per day.


Agreed. Those who often play 10+ hours per day like I, will keep doing that. But new games will not make someone who play 5+ hours per day, start to play 10+ hours per day.

I dont even play my xb1 anymore. I play my 360 way more, because I play gta5 most of the time.
