Assuming the estimates are correct this indicates the benefits of being on more platforms for MS IMHO. If they just had Xbox for gaming they'd have to be below Sony so this shows impact of PC, Mincraft and multi platform revenue.
I increasingly feel focusing on Xbox at expense and f other platforms and the whole "battle for the living room" was with hindsight a mistake that cumulated with XB1 launch.
No harm having their own hardware too of course but it should just be one option for the software not the only one.
Will be interesting to see if they continue to evolve towards software/services everywhere and their own hardware as just another option. They should do.
Of course revenues all very well but this list would be hugely more interesting with estimates of costs and profit. Maybe next time.
