Xbox faces major challenges as its console sales hit record lows in 2024, and it’s not looking any better for 2025. The gaming giant sold an estimated 2.7 million units in the US market during 2024, marking its worst full-year performance in Xbox history. The numbers in Europe are staggeringly worse, with an estimated 290,000 units sold over the year. When you add the two up, you get just under $3 million in total units sold, which paints a very worrying picture for Microsoft’s hardware gaming division.
These numbers are both down from 2023 (which was also a tough year), when Xbox sold 3.8 million units in the US and 550,000 units in Europe, for a combined 4.35 million. This is a nearly 10% drop year over year in units sold, leading Microsoft to report a Microsoft reported a 42% drop in Xbox hardware revenue for the quarter ending in June 2024 in recent months.
The steep 42% drop in Xbox hardware revenue signals growing concerns about the brand’s future in console gaming. With sales continuing to decline into 2025, Microsoft needs to rethink its strategy in an increasingly competitive market.
