Microsoft Explains Why It Isn't Releasing Xbox One Sales Numbers Anymore

Microsoft has refused to share the actual number of Xbox One consoles sold, and that isn’t about to change. The company has clarified that they are looking to engagement, not sales numbers, as their key metric for success.



“During Microsoft’s FY18 Q3 earnings, we announced that gaming revenue grew 18% year-over-year, driven by Xbox software and services revenue growth of 24%, and Xbox Live monthly active users grew 1% year-over-year to 59 million. We continue to see strong growth with time spent on Xbox Live, and look forward to bringing more unprecedented experiences on Xbox One, Windows 10 PC and mobile.”
