While the upgrades are minor, both new machines appear to draw less power than the original, with the digital model reducing power draw by almost half when idle.

The new consoles feature a new heatsink method, as well as a new motherboard. The new Xbox Series X consoles are now also slightly lighter.

Dal Microsoft Annual Report 2024

We are bringing great games to more people on more devices. With our acquisition of Activision Blizzard King, which closed October 2023, we've added hundreds of millions of players to our ecosystem. We now have 20 franchises that have generated over $1 billion in lifetime revenue—from Candy Crush, Diablo, and Halo, to Warcraft, Elder Scrolls, and Gears of War. And with Xbox cloud gaming, we continue to innovate to offer players more ways to experience the games they love—where, when, and how they want. Finally, we brought four of our fan-favorite titles to Nintendo Switch and Sony PlayStation for the first time, as we continue to extend our content to new platforms.

Microsoft is expanding how billions of people globally access and play video games on PC, console, mobile, and
cloud. We put game development front and center, backed by innovative hardware, experiences, and a subscription service, Xbox Game Pass, that allows those games to reach more players across more devices. Activision Blizzard, Inc. ("Activision Blizzard"), a leader in game development and an interactive entertainment content publisher, joined
Microsoft in October 2023.

Xbox and our cloud gaming services face competition from various online gaming ecosystems and game streaming services, including those operated by Amazon, Apple, Meta, and Tencent. We also compete with other providers of entertainment services such as video streaming platforms. Our gaming platform competes with console platforms from Nintendo and Sony, both of which have a large, established base of customers. We believe our gaming platform is effectively positioned against, and uniquely differentiated from, competitive products and services based on significant innovation in hardware architecture, user interface, developer tools, online gaming and entertainment services, and continued strong content from our own first-party game franchises as well as other digital content
offerings.

Xbox enables people to connect and share online gaming experiences that are accessible on Xbox consoles, Windows-enabled devices, and other devices. Xbox is designed to benefit users by providing access to a network of certified applications and services and to benefit our developer and partner ecosystems by providing access to a large customer base. Xbox revenue is mainly affected by subscriptions and sales of first- and third-party content, as well as advertising. Growth of our Gaming business is determined by the overall active user base through Xbox enabled content, availability of games, providing exclusive game content that gamers seek, the computational power and reliability of the devices used to access our content and services, and the ability to create new experiences.
[...]
Gaming revenue increased $6.0 billion or 39% driven by growth in Xbox content and services. Xbox contenta nd services revenue increased 50% driven by 44 points of net impact from the Activision Blizzard acquisition. Xbox hardware revenue decreased 13% driven by lower volume of consoles sold.

Microsoft's Gaming Chief Is Still Looking for Acquisitions, Sees Future Growth
Phil Spencer is planning how to enter and partner in the handheld device and mobile-store markets

"We definitely want to be in the market, and when we can find teams and technology and capability that add to what we're trying to do in gaming at Microsoft, absolutely we will keep our heads up," Spencer said. Still, there's nothing "imminent" and very large deals are probably off the table at present as the company is spending a lot of time absorbing Activision Blizzard employees, he said.

The executive, who has repeatedly professed his admiration for handheld game devices, said the "expectation is that we would do something" in that category. Although the company is working on prototypes and considering what it might do, Spencer also asked his group to look at the market and develop its vision based on what it learns. Such a device is a few years out, he said.

After releasing the first batch of Xbox games for Sony Group Corp.'s PlayStation and Nintendo Co.'s Switch, Spencer is pleased with the results. Microsoft will do more of that, he said, and won't rule out any game in Microsoft's stable.
"I do not see sort of red lines in our portfolio that say 'thou must not,' " he said. It's too early to make any sort of decision on the next version of Halo, he said.

"The Xbox business has never been more healthy," he said, citing growth in cloud and PC gaming as well as console usage. "The business is performing right now, and I think that means a more healthy future for hardware and the games we build."

"I feel pretty good about where this industry is going,'' he said. "To reach new players, we need to be creative and adaptive of new business models, new devices, new ways of access. We're not going to grow the market with $1,000 consoles."

Phill (in versione "pare mi nonno") credo stia mettendo le mani avanti per il prossimo Gears multipiatta...

Interessante la dichiarazione sulla console portatile non proprio dietro l'angolo.

La pubblicità è anche carina.
Il problema è l'appeal del marchio

[Bluforce]

Il messaggio è potente, poi che non venga colto è un altro paio di maniche.

L'importante è che fanno uscire la roba su PC, per il resto facessero come gli pare
