and pretty much lose their ass with all the cash grabs?
In 2017 Microsoft’s gaming division had about 9 billion dollars of revenue.
In the last fiscal year (ended in July) that revenue was 23 billion dollars.
Sony: 31 billion dollars
Nintendo: 9 billion dollars? (harder to find numbers)
I think they’re doing okay. Just because they’re not number 1 in consoles doesn’t mean they’re dead. 30 million units sold of Series X/S isn’t exactly losing their ass. And all console fans should cheer for MS to keep going. It’s great that Steam Deck and the like are pushing into the market now, but losing Xbox would be terrible. Price, innovation, and quality would suffer if Sony didn’t have MS nipping at their heels.
