Who said it’s exclusive? It’s Xbox, Windows Store, Steam, Game Pass and Xcloud via smartphone/tablet. DLC is also a great way to have GP subscribers pay on top of their monthly sub. 

15 million subscriber alone (Xbox consoles, Windows store, Xcloud (smartphones ) will not coupe that money because it's not just 7.5 billion but add with game development budget, marketing budget, xcloud infrastructure budget and additional fee to pay on . Also 15 million subscriber also divide into many categories. 

Well, the numbers add up: 15M @$10 x 12Months = approx 2 billion per annum. 

Also, this acquisition doesn't need to "pay itself off". The purchase was as "cash and carry" as it gets. It wasn't money for recouping. It was money they could literally burn through to get an advantage.
