With that amount of cash they could have secured so many exclusives this gen and new IPs, that the Xbox One could have won at least a couple of markets around the globe, but no...Minecraft. 

Just for some perspective: GTAV cost $265M to develop and then market. GTAV.....the game that sold 52M. Imagine nearly 8 games of that caliber. As an XBOne owner, be objective and think about that for a second. Not saying that MS acquiring Minecraft was bad business for them. But as a consumer, imagine nearly 8 GTAV caliber games exclusive to XBOne, for you. 

Don't make excuses for why acquiring Minecraft was awesome, as if it affects you in any way, shape, or form. Imagine nearly 8 GTAV caliber games only available on XBOne. Increased XBOne sales, bigger userbase, which, then, draws in even more exclusive content. But no; Minecraft. 

All of this post is factual.
