Microsoft to Cease Xbox Sales in MENA Region

Xbox vanishes, PlayStation party time!
Microsoft has reportedly informed major retailers in the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region, including Saudi Arabia, about halting the sale of Xbox consoles. This move follows recent, unconfirmed whispers that suggested Microsoft might scale back its marketing efforts in the Middle East due to PlayStation's strong market presence. Although these rumors were initially dismissed by Jez Corden, they now seem plausible.
If the speculation holds true, this decision aligns with Microsoft's previous partial marketing reductions in Europe. As console sales decrease each quarter, the company appears to be refocusing on platforms like Amazon Fire TV, Game Pass, and other streaming services.
