Xbox console sales have continued to decline, with a reported 30% drop year-over-year. Despite this downturn, Microsoft forecasts a decrease in Xbox hardware revenue for Q4, while anticipating growth in Xbox content and services, primarily driven by a 60-point net impact from the acquisition of Activision Blizzard. This acquisition is also expected to contribute approximately 50 points to the overall gaming revenue, which is projected to increase in the low to mid 40s percentage range for Q4. Amidst these challenges, Microsoft's CEO highlighted the company's success with seven games ranking among the top 25 on the PlayStation Store.
