Why are the sales of an MMO brought up?

Success is counted in number of suscribers.... Every year, each suscriber has paid about the price of 2 fully priced games in fees.... so 200K suscribers is probably the equivalent of a 1.5M selling regular game (with price decrease), revenue wise.


Even if you are right. M$ do not benefit from this. Remember SE are asking M$ to change their policy, for M$ to make a bit on game sales. M$ make nothing off of SE monthly subscription. 

See my point. 200,000 game sales in 4 years is less than spare change to M$. Especially when their policies are called into question.
