Comment on Microsoft Pushes Xbox Division to Hit Higher Profit Margins
woelkchen@lemmy.world 5 days agoYou’re confusing the word “dominant”. They’ve never been even remotely close to being dominant in gaming.
Look up the revenue numbers. Nobody else comes close. Minecraft alone with its different editions is massive.

PlayStation consoles beat Xbox consoles but that’s not the whole gaming market. Microsoft and their subsidiaries publish games for PlayStation, Nintendo, iPhones, Windows,… This is really not hard to understand.
Yep, revenue numbers from when ABK was still independent, user numbers of the various Minecraft editions, etc. All public information easily to find for any person with basic media competency.

Now go look at both companies total gaming revenue for the whole year, not just the month that the biggest game of the year releases.
PlayStations revenue is about 50% more than Xbox’s.

Minecraft, Bethesda, and Activision Blizard are not part of Xbox. They are separate publishing arms within Microsoft. How is that so hard to understand? How can one not grasp such a simple thing?
