Wait. Hold on a second. Microsoft paid a whopping $375 million for them? That's a huge amount and they've not worked out well for them.

$375 million isn't that much compared to some other purchases they've made. They probably paid more for the Gears IP.

In theory, a few hits like Kinect Sports 1+2 (8+ million sold), Rare Replay, Killer Instinct, and Sea of Thieves could have recouped much of their investment.

I'd argue it has worked out well for them given they have a large library of content, IPs, and potential content for the future.

Didn't they spend like 2 billion advertising kinect ?And didn't they only pay 50m for gears?
