Microsoft claims 42% of next-gen revenue
Microsoft recently made some pretty massive statements regarding the console wars, and one of them is a bit surprising. Revealed in the article is the fact that hardware sales have now reached 17.7 million (though shipped vs sold wasn’t mentioned). They also claim that “We’ve taken 42 per cent revenue share of next gen-games market - including hardware, peripherals and software” and that their hardware attach rate is over 7 games per console sold. Now, those are some impressive figures, but as any business student will tell you, there’s a large difference between revenue and profit, and you wouldn’t announce the least preferable if you had the more. So Microsoft, when are you going to halt telling us how awesome you are and prove it by making some real money?
