Consoles aren’t left out either, with a nice 14% gain in hardware sales. The continued strong demand for Xbox Series X|S makes the Seattle giant happy. Microsoft continues its insane race a quarter higher than the previous two years. The fastest growing segment remains cloud with a 32% increase in revenue.
