Which game from Activision/Blizzard will you miss if they go full exclusive?

Sure Xbox made 80B in profits but we never heard of them, sure.

Nintendo and Playstation in their best years probably make 3B USD on profit. But you want us to believe Xbox was making enough profit that they covered those purchases themselves? You jest right?

I never said they made $80b, don't be silly. You mentioned they didn't cover the cost for these companies.

Your exact quote "Xbox haven't done the profits to buy mohjang, zenimax nor activision." And i proved that Halo alone has made over $5b which covers more than the Minecraft acquisition. That's just one IP, not including the profits straight from Live all those years ago. They would of made the money for the Bethesda and Mojang acquisitions just from the Xbox brand, however the Activison Blizzard acquisition will be focused around the GP long term subs etc. 

You also forget that MS have been profiting with subscriptions long before Sony and Nintendo implemented it. The entire 360 era, they were making billions off Gold Live. Or do you like to ignore that small detail in your arguments?

Still confused? Sony made $12b off PSN, DLC and Digital games in 2019. Now think about this, Xbox has been doing this online system aswell and their subscription model has been around a lot longer, so do the maths.

Also MS/Xbox don't announce profits from Gold and subs, thats why you never heard of it.

You confuse Revenue with Profit, nothing else to discuss. That old new about Halo was that it had a revenue of 5B (which included consoles bundled together) never that it had a 5B in profit.

Go and look at the annual statement from Sony or Nintendo (and seems like you want to pretend Xbox had more profit than then) and see what the real profit (not revenue) was during the past 5 years and you'll see that for certain Xbox didn't do over 80B in profit on the past decade.
