Yeah, but that's because none of the alternatives are good enough... 

That said, I am actually shocked gaming is now bringing in more money than Windows... Nadella will have to think this 20 times over before deciding Xbox is not worth it now and whoa... looks like even a distant second place is way better than last gen... 

windows is all profit though.

xbox is not. If someone buys an xbox, and two games, microsoft will get revenue of 400$, but profit of 20-30$. If someone buys 100$ of windows, ms profits 100$ of windows.

MS likely...scratch that...DOES make more on windows than xbox. Way more.

Looking at the graph, and breaking down the numbers, "gaming" rev was around 5b, while windows was around 3.5-4b even if ms made 50% profit off of xbox revenues, it would still be under windows by 1-2 billion...or double....and that's being very generous.

Revenue is revenue and they are keeping it... They are easy money...
