  $MSFT ’s Xbox Reset Is Bigger Than 3,200 Layoffs Microsoft is cutting roughly 3,200 jobs from Xbox, about one-fifth of the division, and the market should not file this under ordinary tech cost discipline. This looks more like a failed growth model being forcibly repriced. Xbox CEO Asha Sharma put it bluntly in the internal memo: “Our business today is not healthy.” Then the line that matters: “We must reset XBOX.” The real issue is Game Pass Microsoft spent years trying to turn Xbox into a subscription flywheel. Buy studios, add content, push Game Pass, smooth revenue, increase lifetime value, and make gaming look more like recurring software. That was the theory. The problem is the numbers never matched the ambition. Game Pass was reportedly expected to reach around 77 million subscribers this year. It is closer to 30 million. That gap is not a rounding error. It tells you the product did not scale anywhere near the internal model Microsoft was underwriting. M&A did not fix the economics The Activision Blizzard deal was supposed to deepen the content moat and make Game Pass harder to ignore. Instead, Microsoft is now selling or spinning off studios, cutting more than 350 additional people from payroll, and publishing fewer games. That is not expansion mode. That is portfolio triage. Sharma is shifting capital toward the franchises that actually matter: Minecraft, Candy Crush, Fallout. Everything else has to earn its place. The margin told management the truth Xbox revenue fell in the March quarter, and the division’s profit margin was just 3% for the fiscal year that ended in June. For a company like Microsoft, that is a brutal number. It is especially brutal when the parent company is pouring capital into AI infrastructure, where the market is already demanding proof of returns. Low-margin gaming experiments become harder to defend when Azure and AI are carrying the equity story. The stock read This is probably not a Microsoft thesis-breaker. Xbox is not the core reason investors own MSFT. But it is a useful signal about capital discipline. Nadella is not letting weak consumer assets hide behind the strength of enterprise cloud. The bottom line: these layoffs are not the reset. They are the evidence that the old Xbox strategy already failed.

  @LateNightCandi_ 20-30% And im not including women who play mobile games like candy crush. Talking about real games. And I would actually agree except the last about 3-4 years has seen a massive industry wide push in high profile games and studios that feels 100% forced New ips, no issue

  Can we please come out of this candy crush campaign. We have far serious issues to discuss. All the fuel owners of this country are enjoying their luxury life and pushing the whole nation into lockdown and inflation caused by shortage and inflated rates of fuel

  @Anaya_sharma876 Crash... shove ads down my throat... try to force me to use Bing and Edge at every chance. I really wish Linux did a better job of showing me ads for Candy Crush and a search engine that has only gotten worse lately... Linux needs to master how to SUCK LESS

  @balatroist @KevinCastley @grok When you don’t have an argument. You either strawman or just hurl insults. You haven’t made a single coherent rebuttal . Other than Oh Yeah what about xxxxx. In lieu actually addressing the issue. This isn’t your strong suit. Maybe find something else to do. Try midget porn maybe or candy crush. I hear that’s popular.

  @not__vee I would view this "study" with the same skepticism as the one that said "most gamers were women" by including mobile games like Candy Crush. Also, the powers that be seem to have no trouble not listening to the customer base. Why would they listen now?

  Having knowledge of both worlds, there is a reason why the classics are the classics and what a rando 19 year old from Hong Kong makes will be forgotten in the next 20-50 years. It's something you can learn to feel. You can learn to have the good taste to understand the difference between contemporary works (as good as they are) and classical works. I don't mean this in a snobby way. I remember a decade ago when the game Undertale was all the rage. Where is it now? Do people still talk about it? Do people even care about it? On sale for 75% on steam. Now, will there be "classical video games"? I don't have doubts here actually. It will be curated, however, and it won't be any random video game. Candy Crush (3B+ downloads) likely won't be there. Maybe the random 19 year old from Hong Kong will make something that transcends its time and place, but I wouldn't bet on it. Every year there is a top-100 chart. How many of those songs will be played 100 years from now when all of the teenagers who listened to it during their formative years are no longer there? The classics may be limping along now because we are in an era that does not appreciate transcendental beauty enough. Even people trying to produce new art in the classical form have this problem (this is at least true in classical music/opera space). But the hope is that it will survive and limp along until another Mozart or Handel or Bach comes along. And despite all of the troubles the classics has, you can still listen to pretty rare/obscure pieces if you want and appreciate them along with the commonly appreciated ones.

  LA metro discourse triggers psychosis. It’s not good. It’s slow, it goes halfway to nowhere, and there’s always someone in distress while cops play candy crush.

  The new boss of Xbox took one of its biggest games and put it on PlayStation, the console its arch-rival sells. It sounds like a mistake. Instead, it became the best-selling new game on PlayStation last year and has passed 5 million copies, beating Sony's own new games. That single move tells you what Asha Sharma is really doing. She took over Xbox in February 2026, after Phil Spencer, who had run it for years, retired. At Bloomberg's tech conference this week, an interviewer asked what winning would look like by 2030. Her answer was blunt: the number one gaming and entertainment company in the world. Xbox is not there yet. She even called the business "not in a healthy spot," with sales falling in four of the last six quarters. So she stopped trying to win the old fight. For decades, consoles worked one way: you keep your best games locked to your own machine, so people have to buy it to play them. Sony does this better than anyone, selling close to three PlayStations for every Xbox. Sharma looked at those odds and walked away. Now she sells Xbox's games to the people who already bought a PlayStation, and last year Forza, Doom, Indiana Jones, and a stack of others showed up on Sony's console. A 70 dollar game brings in the same 70 dollars no matter whose machine you play it on. The bigger prize is reach. A few years back, Microsoft paid 75.4 billion dollars for the company behind Call of Duty and Candy Crush, the most expensive deal gaming has ever seen. Candy Crush alone has more than 200 million players a month, most of them on their phones, not on an Xbox. Count every phone, PC, console, and TV, and a Microsoft game now reaches over 500 million people a month. Sony's online network reaches 132 million. Her other moves point the same way. She cut the price of Game Pass, the monthly games subscription that works like Netflix, after admitting last year's price jump had chased people off. Sign-ups started climbing again. She scrapped an Xbox AI assistant because players did not want it and it solved no real problem. And she revealed the next Xbox, a machine built to play both Xbox games and PC games. None of this is a sure thing. The chips Xbox needs keep getting pricier instead of cheaper, because the AI boom is buying them up, and Sony still crushes Xbox on console sales. What Sharma has done is change the scoreboard. She is racing to reach the most players on every device that exists, and by that count, Xbox already sits near the top.

  @Lfromthenorth @TenshiTTV I don't mean that you are lying. But here is my problem: people online are just nicknames. You can say, well, but there are games where voice is a must. Ok. But SC2 or non-teamed shooters are not like that. Still, we do not see girls playing them. Unlike Sims. Or Candy Crush.

  Meta charges you up to 4x more per impression on Audience Network placements that convert at near-zero And the toggle to turn them off is buried 3 menus deep in ad set settings When you launch a Meta ad it runs on 4 placements by default: Facebook Feed, Instagram Feed, Stories/Reels, and Audience Network. You probably know about the first 3. The 4th is where Meta sends your ad to random apps and websites to fill cheap inventory Audience Network CPMs are cheap. $1-3. That looks good in your dashboard. The problem: conversion rates on Audience Network are near-zero for ecom because the "viewer" is playing a mobile game and your ad is a banner they accidentally tapped trying to close it. The click was accidental. She didn't want your product. She wanted to get back to Candy Crush Your ad dashboard shows a blended CPM across all placements. The $6 CPM you see is actually $14 on Facebook Feed (where people buy) and $2 on Audience Network (where nobody buys). Meta blends them to make the number look good. Your real cost to reach a buyer is $14. You think it's $6 The fix: - go to ad set level - click "Placements" - switch from "Advantage+ Placements" to "Manual Placements" - uncheck "Audience Network" entirely - while you're there uncheck "Messenger" too (same problem, different placement) Your CPM will "increase" on the dashboard because you removed the cheap garbage placements. Your cost per PURCHASE will decrease because every impression now goes to a placement where people actually buy things One operator turned off Audience Network and Messenger. Dashboard CPM went from $8 to $13. Cost per purchase went from $22 to $14. He was paying $22 per customer while Meta showed him an $8 CPM that included thousands of accidental taps from people playing mobile games Meta defaults to all placements because Meta gets paid per impression regardless of whether it converts. The more placements your ad runs on the more impressions Meta sells. Their incentive is volume. Your incentive is conversions. These are different goals. The default setting serves their goal not yours 3 clicks deep in your ad settings. 2 minutes. Your cost per purchase drops and your dashboard finally shows real numbers instead of blended fiction

  @mcahogarth The problem is that "gaming" has come to mean everything, including solitaire or Candy Crush. Yes, these are games, but playing them isn't "Gaming". "Gaming" is more involved (or can be), usually more time consuming. Like a video game version of a tabletop RPG.
