Lige siden november 2014 er Microsoft holdt op med at rapportere præcis hvor mange Xbox One-konsoller der bliver solgt verden over. Hvorimod forklaringen bag denne beslutning umiddelbart ligger klart, fordi de er bagud, så mener Microsoft ikke helt at det er rigtigt - snarere mener de at de bare bruger en anden "metric for success".
Som svar på et spørgsmålet om netop dette har Microsoft fortalt Variety, at de måler platformens succes på andre parametre end antallet af solgte konsoller.
"We are continuing to look at engagement as our key metric for success and are no longer reporting on total console sales. 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."
Hvad synes du om forklaringen?
