Nintendo at least released a lot of bangers on the console.

Imagine if Nintendo hadn't done Wii, instead reaching "healthy" income by spending billions on Ubisoft.
I want to raise my income to a healthier number I can put a million dollars in an account and pay myself out of it over time. Thereby showing my amazing management prowess at getting money through the door. Adore me, simp for me after this massive flex.
MS does this, and then flexes even more by opening the floodgates of devices that can access Xbox.
Pointless numbers for shills to lap up.

It’s everything, people need to stop thinking about the Xbox console, Microsoft has moved away from that. These numbers are from Xbox, Steam, Windows Store, Playstation, Switch, Android, iOS, XCloud, Geforce Now. Every single game they own on every device and service.
Listen to Satya’s talk from this earnings report QA. They’re clearly transitioning to software and subscriptions as a publisher and digital platform holder on ”every” screen.
Content, Xbox, PC, Firestick
"For us, our investment in gaming fundamentally was to have, I would say, the right portfolio of both what we love about gaming and always have loved about gaming — which is Xbox, and the content for the console, and expand from there so that we have content for everywhere people play games, starting with the PC."
"So, when I think about the Activision portfolio, it comes with great assets for us to cover both the PC and the console. And then, of course, assets to cover mobile sockets, which we have never had. So, we feel that now we have both the content and the ability to access all the traditional high-scale platforms where people play games, which is the console, PC, and mobile. But we're also excited about these new sockets, right?"
"That's the type of new access that really helps us a lot, in reaching new gamers or the same gamer everywhere they want to play. And that ultimately will show up in that software plus services and transaction revenue for us, which is really our long-term KPI, and that's what we're building toward."
This was from Windows central, there is a sound clip somewhere where it’s uninterupted, was an answer about how investor’s should look at their future growth potential in the gaming space.

What? This guy has taken Microsoft to new heights. When he took over the company it was worth $300 bn and now it's worth $3 trillion in about 10 years.
People might not like what they are doing with the games division but his performance as a CEO has been great.

I'm pretty sure Sony will happily count people using PS log-ins on Steam, and Switch gamers buying Horizon LEGO. It's kind of the whole point. People just get mad at anything MS.What is a "Sony" player, are they not just gamers? Cool hows that Nintendo Switch? have you always been a gamer? Nah, I'm a "Sony player"

Trying to spin that one to the shareholders with a straight face.

Yeah MAU is not some mystery number, it’s monthly active users on all their games on all services and devices. The total. People are just so laser focused on consoles here, Xbox this and Playstation that. Candy Crush is literally in Microsoft’s MAU numbers now, and Steam gamers enjoying Ghost of Tsushima is in Sony’s MAUs. And that’s okay and correct and something they can boast about now when talking to investors, which these earnings reports are made for.

Baldy didn't even mention Xbox, as these aren't Xbox MAU, it's just clickbait.

Like I've said before, all the ABK buyout is proving is that there's way more profit in being Activision than trying to be a platform holder.
And following that logic, in the future I'd expect to see their portfolio continue to narrow in exactly the same way that Activision's did. In the short term there's a need for a steady flow of catalogue product to fill out GP, but objectively speaking the AA model fell out of favour across the industry because its not consistently profitable, so I'd expect its days to be numbered.

I think he got lucky with the tech fomo. Every tech stocks went boom.
Sure ballmer being some useless white guy and that elevates nutella too.
Not sure of what nutella has done since the cloud. Their hardware division have all crashed and burned

He also changed office business model.
I would be surprised if pure luck could grow a company 10x in 10 years. I mean, in the same period many other companies haven't grown 10x even with the fomo you mention.
Regarding hardware other than the 360 times I don't think they have done well so most likely that was the fluke.

this is like, sony PSN members are a house, and XBOX account users are those that live in the house.
great example of “ Mark Twain famously popularized the saying, “There are 3 kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.”

I'm pretty sure they would be, so this would include PlayStation/Nintendo gamers who play Minecraft, Sea of Thieves, COD, Diablo, Grounded etc etc.

And spending billions a year on it.
This is the kind of dream Sony are also chasing.
