You read that right. The second largest source of revenue for Microsoft last quarter came from gaming. Ed Bott has illustrated the breakdown of Microsoft’s revenue in this chart:

Naysayers can argue that all of this revenue did not come from console games and that is a fair point.

A better point would be to look at how 'Gaming' is made up.  How much of this is Minecraft sales?  Microsoft owns Minecraft now and that makes a fucking megaton.  Not just in sales, but merchandise too.

MS don't even like to say how many Xboxes they sell, so without more information on what this chart actually means - Xbox going down the pan is still a very real talking point.



Sony want to make money by selling art, Nintendo want to make money by selling fun, Microsoft want to make money.
