Microsoft has reported shipments for its Xbox consoles (i.e. the Xbox One and Xbox 360 combined) in Q3 of its financial year 2015 as being at 1.6 million units. The company made the announcement in its quarterly report, which you can read in full here.

The 1.6 million figure is a decline when compared to last year, when the firm managed to ship 2 million console units. This brings the Xbox shipment total up to 10.7 million units for the first nine months of the financial year (a slight increase of 100,000 units year-on-year).

Overall, Xbox revenue is also down:

"Computing and Gaming Hardware revenue decreased $72 million or 4%, primarily due to lower revenue from Xbox Platform, offset in part by higher Surface revenue. Computing and Gaming Hardware revenue included an unfavorable foreign currency impact of approximately 4%. Xbox Platform revenue decreased $306 million or 24%, driven by a 20% decline in console volume and lower prices of Xbox One consoles compared to the prior year. We sold 1.6 million Xbox consoles during the third quarter of fiscal year 2015 compared with 2.0 million consoles during the third quarter of fiscal year 2014. Surface revenue increased $219 million or 44%, primarily due to Surface Pro 3 units sold, offset in part by a decrease in revenue from other Surface devices sold...

Computing and Gaming Hardware gross margin increased $156 million or 60%, due to a $228 million or 14% decrease in cost of revenue, offset in part by lower revenue. Gross margin benefited from the mix shift to Surface Pro 3. Computing and Gaming cost of revenue decreased, primarily due to a $265 million or 27% decline in Xbox Platform cost of revenue, driven by lower volumes and a lower cost per console sold."
