Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella hints at Xbox business, says YouTube is making more money from games than …

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has said that the company has spent 25 years subsidising its Xbox gaming division instead of making a profit from it, signaling that the tech giant is looking for a major strategy shift. He revealed that other platforms are benefiting more from Xbox’s success than Microsoft itself, noting that YouTube is currently making more money from Xbox games than his own company.

Speaking on The New York Times’ “Hard Fork” podcast recently, Nadella said that the company has not been monetising that entertainment. He added: “In fact, there’s more monetization of Xbox games happening on YouTube than at Microsoft.”
