Microsoft dropped earnings and it's good
news for Xbox.
[Music]
That's right friends. It is that time of
the quarter where all the big companies
are sharing their earnings reports and
Xbox you know which is a part of
Microsoft has dropped some new numbers
and things look relatively and I say
that uh you know with a little asterisk
which we'll talk about here in a second
relatively good right the things that
Microsoft want to go up went up things
that we expected to go down went down so
why don't we just dive into the numbers
here there's no bsing around here trying

grew at
8% which is realistically what Microsoft
says. Hey, please judge us by that

remember Call of Duty was the big risk
that they put in there uh at the end of
last year. And so, oh yes, it's also
important to point out this is for Q1 as
we think of it on a calendar, but it's
Q3 uh for team Xbox or team Microsoft.
So, they said Game Pass, Call of Duty,
and Minecraft, which is something we
haven't always seen show up here. It's
explicitly in the earnings. However, it
