💨 Abstract

Microsoft's Xbox division has been under intense pressure to meet unrealistic profit goals set by executives, leading to layoffs, game cancellations, and price hikes. The goal of a 30% profit margin, significantly higher than the industry average, has driven these decisions. Despite these measures, Xbox's financial struggles persist, with declining sales of the Xbox Series X/S and questions about the profitability of Xbox Game Pass.
