Microsoft recently advised it will shift its focus away from Xbox consoles sold and concern itself primarily with Xbox Live engagement stats.
As such, GameInformer reports that Microsoft will report less on Xbox hardware sales and instead feature its monthly active user base.
The change is being made “to better reflect the company’s strategy and ambitions to build best-in-class platforms and productivity services for a mobile-first, cloud-first world, Microsoft is changing the reporting of its financial results,” a Microsoft representative told IGN.
“This presented the opportunity for a fresh way to look at how we report on Xbox results. We have been delivering a service-centric approach for the Xbox business for some time and now have Xbox now available across Windows 10 devices. Our measurement for success is focused on engagement on Xbox as a key driver for monetization.”
