You do know that $70 billion MS spent on ABK was money they had just sitting in the bank right not tied to any revenue or profit margins? This was an all cash transaction. Get a hold of how financials work in major businesses when it comes to assets. 

There was no loss or debt incurred on MS's end with this deal. This was a direct investment for long term revenue and profits going forward. And for the revenue Xbox brings in, last year being a record setting one, they still brought in a profit. Now expect that to go dramatically higher. 

MS is literally in a no-lose scenario. Either way, they're getting money whether from recurring monthly GP subs or outright purchases whether on console or PC. And the revenue and profits are proving that. 

This is just insane. So the 60 Billion dollars they spent doesnt count because they paid in cash? Are you even thinking before typing?

Dude……please familiarize yourself with business transactions and asset ownership lol

It’s whatever either way.
