Imagine Microsoft’s top management was competent and leveraged their PC operating system monopoly with their dominant gaming position (ABK + Minecraft alone are massive, not even counting Bethesda and the older 1st studios).
If only Microsoft ever had that position. They’ve been distant third since the Switch 1 came out, distant second from day 1 of the PS4.
Wrong. You confuse the Xbox console with Microsoft’s overall position as game publisher which includes all of Activision-Blizzard-King, Bethesda, Minecraft, Halo, Forza,… across multiple platforms.
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.
Did you even look up the numbers?
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.
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?

You’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.
Sony easily beat them lol. Did you even look up the numbers?
