Microsoft's Gaming Business is Dying After Decades of Bitter Losses

Recently: Why Microsoft Was Trying to Buy Activision and 'Look Big' in 2022 (XBox Was Failing, XBox as a Whole Might Die Soon)

Today's reaction from Microsoft boosting sites:

Halo Infinite has lost 98% of its peak Steam player count - OnMSFT.com



Microsoft burns; This is OK.



Summary: With lousy sales [1] and an exodus of management (yet another one has just left [2-3]), can the XBox business survive at all? Expect yet more XBox layoffs very soon (there were plenty earlier this year, but the media was busy writing about chatbots, the decoy/chaff) ______
  1. Microsoft Has Reportedly Sold Just 21 Million Xbox Series X and S Consoles
    Microsoft's 21m Xbox Series X and S sales pale in comparison to rival numbers.


  2. 343 Industries loses another experienced dev as Halo game designer David Ellis leaves studio after 13 years


  3. Longtime Halo designer David Ellis departs 343 Industries
