Microsoft’s CEO says Xbox games are dominating the PlayStation store charts “more than any other publisher,” but console sales are down 30%.

On April 25, Microsoft shared thethird quarter of its 2024 fiscal financial resultsand, as highlighted byThe Verge, the company’s CEO was pleased to share an update on how Xbox games are performing on other platforms. “Finally, we’re expanding our games to new platforms, bringing four of our fan favorites to Nintendo Switch andSonyPlayStation for the first time,” said Satya Nadella.

Rubbing just a little salt into Sony’s wounds, Nadella adds: “In fact, earlier this month we had 7 games among the top 25 on the PlayStation Store, more than any other publisher.” Earlier this year, it was announced that four previous Xbox-exclusive titles - Obsidian’s Pentiment and Grounded, Tango Gameworks' Hi-Fi Rush, and Rare’s Sea of Thieves - would be heading to Nintendo Switch andPS5.

Elsewhere in the financial results, Microsoft reveals hardware is down by 31% this quarter, and the company’s CFO, Amy Hood, said that the company expects Xbox hardware revenue to decline again next quarter. Last year, as part of theXbox FTC leak, a document revealed anXbox Series X Refresh(codenamed Brooklin) is currently in the works at Microsoft that’s expected to release in late 2024.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training.  My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I’m also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
