Microsoft just announced their FY Q1 2017 earnings and as per usual they did not announce exactly how many consoles they sold.
They did report however that gaming revenue declined 5% (down 4% in constant currency) driven by lower Xbox console revenue offset by higher Xbox software and services revenue.
Gaming revenue reached $1,896 billion and was been boosted by the release of the slimmer, cheaper Xbox One S, which has led main rival PlayStation 4 for the last 3 months in a row in US sales. Microsoft notes they won Q1 in USA, driven by the new Xbox One S and new Xbox One game titles.
Xbox Live monthly active users grew 21% to 47 million.
Microsoft felt they had strong momentum leading into the holiday season, but still expected gaming revenue to be less in the holiday quarter compared to the previous year.
