Microsoft has released its latest financial results, showing significant growth in gaming revenues — thanks in no small part to the acquisition of Activision Blizzard.

However, Xbox hardware sales continue to decline and saw the steepest drop since the Xbox Series X and S launched in 2020, down 31% year-on-year.

Well yeah. Didn't they just announce they wouldn't be making any more consoles in the future?

There have been rumors and speculation, but that's not what MS is saying.

"More interestingly, [Xbox President Sarah] Bond teased a roadmap focused on next-generation hardware.

"'And what we're focused on there is delivering the largest technical leap you will have ever seen in a hardware generation, which makes it better for players and better for creators and the visions they're building," Bond explained in the recent episode of the Official Xbox Podcast.'"

Ah! Good to know!

Yeah I had heard rumors that they were going to focus on multi platform gaming instead, but apparently they will still be doing more consoles. That's good!
