This dramatic decline has been labeled as the worst year on record for Xbox, highlighting a troubling trend for Microsofts gaming hardware amidst a broader industry slowdown. While the PlayStation 5 also experienced a 19% drop in sales, the sharper decline for Xbox can be attributed to Microsoft’s strategic pivot away from traditional console exclusives.
