Xbox and Windows Slip in Microsoft’s $51.9 billion Quarter

Microsoft has posted the fourth quarter of its 2022 financial results, reporting revenue of $51.9 billion and a net income of $16.7 billion, as reported by The Verge.

Revenue is up 12 percent, and net income has increased by just 2 percent. However, while revenue was up, Microsoft saw some of its core businesses, including Windows and Xbox, begin to slip.

The PC market had thrived throughout the pandemic, but PC shipments experienced a big decline in the recent quarter — nearly 13 percent according to Gartner. It’s the sharpest decline in nine years, thanks to geopolitical tensions, inflation, and continued supply chain challenges.

Microsoft’s Windows OEM revenue, the price PC manufactures pay Microsoft to put Windows on machines, fell 2 percent in Q4, driven by what Microsoft described as “production shutdowns and a deteriorating PC market.”
