Economic Impact of Xbox Server Downtime
The downtime of Xbox servers can have significant economic implications. For Microsoft, lost revenue due to subscriptions, game sales, and advertising is a major concern. In 2021, Xbox Live had over 100 million monthly active users, contributing billions of dollars in revenue to Microsoft. Moreover, downtime disrupts the productivity of game developers and publishers who rely on Xbox services for game testing, updates, and online multiplayer functionality, leading to potential revenue losses.
