Shifts in Business Focus
Following the acquisition of Activision Blizzard, Microsoft briefly saw gaming become its third-largest business. However, in the latest quarter, gaming slipped back to fourth place behind Windows. This shift was attributed to the stronger-than-expected performance of Windows OEM revenue.
Revenue Insights
Despite a robust quarter for Microsoft with notable increases in Office and Microsoft Cloud revenue by 23 percent year over year, the overall gaming revenues only saw growth due to the Activision Blizzard acquisition. Xbox hardware revenue experienced a decline, along with a drop in devices (Surface) revenue.
Windows OEM Revenue Surge
In a surprising turn of events, Windows OEM revenue surged by 11 percent year over year, contrary to previous expectations of a flat performance. This revenue stream, which suffered in 2023, has been on an upward trajectory throughout 2024.
