and water is wet....  your stating the obvious, and ignoring the point of the thread.
Its a sales thread, and sales are down.

The amounts of revenue that CoD used to make, from sales are now lower.
That doesn't change no matter who owns who, or what studio.

Also if you pay 70 billion $ for a company, and the profits it normally makes are suddenly lower.... that doesn't matter at all, because now they are owned by MS? and it wasn't beforehand... that's your take right?

No, my point is there is not a separate profit/loss pool.  I was also looking at it from a point of view of the current company owner (different profit margin/massive player base) versus previous company owner (smaller player base/only Xbox).

I didn't know I wasn't suppose to be doing that, sorry. 

What are you talking about?
Are you trying to say Call of Duty still makes money?  that's basically right back to the "water is wet" thing.

Also why is the "current company owner" someone with a massive player base, profit margins....
Compared to the previous company owner (activison?)  The amount of people, they sell call of duty to, hasn't changed. Its still going all the same places. Whats changed is the amount of sales, its made.

"I didn't know I wasn't supposed to be doing that, sorry"

I legit don't understand what your trying to argue.
So I cant grasp your view point.

Can you explain it better?

*edit:

In your first post, it sounded like your logic was just, now its owned by xbox, so xbox is makeing more profit (than they were before).
Which is true. No one is even doubting or debateing that.

The point is, sales have gone down.
So the studio, that used to make lots of money.... is makeing less money.
Even if that now goes towards MS and XBox.   Hence the thread. Its about sales.

Ei. water is wet, again.

Even if your take is like "xbox/ms has so much money it doesn't have to care, about anything". 
Buying something expensive, and getting less than you expect in return.... sucks?


So what is your point?
