We recently got hints that first quarter of 2022 would be a good one for Xbox Series X/S, as the consoles beat out the PS5 in March due to an increase in supply. Well, today Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) delivered their latest earnings report, and CEO Satya Nadella confirmed XSX not only beat PS5 in March, but across the entire first quarter of 2022. Or at least they did in North American and Europe. It was also good news for Xbox Game Pass as playtime has increased 45 percent over the past year.
Our ambition is to empower gamers to when, and where, and how they want. With our Xbox Series X and S consoles, we have [gained] share globally for two quarters in a row and we are the market leader this quarter amongst the next-gen in the United States, Canada, North American, and Western Europe.
