微軟公司（納斯達克股票代碼：MSFT）首席執行官薩蒂亞·納德拉週四宣佈，該公司創紀錄的遊戲業績並擴展到任天堂有限公司（場外交易代碼：NTDOY）Switch和索尼集團公司（紐約證券交易所代碼：索尼）PlayStation。
What Happened: On Thursday, during the third-quarter earnings call, Nadella revealed that Microsoft had set new records for game streaming hours, console usage, and monthly active devices.
發生了什麼：週四，在第三季度業績電話會議上，納德拉透露，微軟已經創下了遊戲直播時間、主機使用量和月活躍設備的新紀錄。
The CEO also highlighted the successful addition of Diablo 4, the first Activision Blizzard, title to the Game Pass service. "Subscribers played over 10 million hours within the first 10 days, making it one of our biggest first-party Game Pass launches ever," he said.
首席執行官還強調了動視暴雪首款遊戲《暗黑破壞神4》成功加入遊戲通行證服務。他說：“訂閱者在最初的10天內玩了超過1000萬小時，這是我們有史以來最大的第一方遊戲通行證之一。”
He then went on to speak about the ongoing success of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, saying, the game has been attracting new gamers and retaining franchise loyalists.
然後，他繼續談到《使命召喚：現代戰爭3》的持續成功，他說，該遊戲吸引了新玩家，並留住了特許經營的忠實擁護者。
Nadella also informed that Microsoft is expanding its games to new platforms. "Finally, we are expanding our games to new platforms, bringing four of our fan-favorite titles to Nintendo Switch and Sony PlayStation for the first time. In fact, earlier this month, we had seven games among the top 25 on the PlayStation store more than any other publisher," he stated.
納德拉還表示，微軟正在將其遊戲擴展到新平台。“最後，我們正在將遊戲擴展到新平台，首次將我們最喜歡的四款遊戲帶到了Nintendo Switch和索尼PlayStation。實際上，本月早些時候，我們在PlayStation商店的前25名中有七款遊戲比任何其他發行商都多，” 他說。

Why It Matters: Microsoft's gaming division has been a significant driver of its overall growth. The company's third-quarter revenue increased 17% year-over-year to $61.9 billion, beating the consensus estimate of $60.804 billion. Microsoft has now beaten analyst estimates on both the top and bottom lines in five consecutive quarters, according to Benzinga Pro.
爲何重要：微軟的遊戲部門一直是其整體增長的重要推動力。該公司第三季度收入同比增長17％，達到619億美元，超過了市場普遍預期的608.04億美元。根據Benzinga Pro的數據，微軟現在連續五個季度的收入和利潤均超過了分析師的預期。
The company also exceeded analyst expectations by posting quarterly earnings of $2.94 per share, compared to the forecasted $2.82 per share.
該公司還公佈了每股2.94美元的季度收益，超出了分析師的預期，而預期的每股收益爲2.82美元。
This success comes on the heels of Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard. Nadella had previously expressed enthusiasm for the acquisition, emphasizing the opportunity to become a "good publisher" across various platforms, including rival consoles like Sony and Nintendo.
這一成功是在微軟收購動視暴雪之後取得的。納德拉此前曾對收購表示熱情，強調有機會成爲包括索尼和任天堂等競爭對手遊戲機在內的各種平台上的 “優秀髮行商”。
Earlier this month, six months after the acquisition, Blizzard executives revealed that Microsoft had largely allowed Blizzard to maintain its autonomy.
本月早些時候，即收購六個月後，暴雪高管透露，微軟在很大程度上允許暴雪保持其自主權。
MSFT Price Action: Microsoft shares were up 4.31% after hours at $416.25 at the time of publication, according to Benzinga Pro.
MSFT價格走勢：根據Benzinga Pro的數據，微軟股價盤後上漲4.31％，至416.25美元。
