I don't think Minecraft has anything to do with Microsoft's strategy on high-end games. Grand/Fate was making Sony $1bn a year and it wasn't part of Playstation.I don't think it was ever going to do that in a short term, Microsoft need to get another minecraft in terms of revenue. Microsoft is probably going to be the clear number 2 platform holder in terms of revenue. I don't know what a realistic time frame is or what Microsoft is expecting.
I think they should but the real question is buy what percentage?
Microsoft lost the mobile war to Apple and Google and is now trying to come at the mobile with the cloud angle, but how many people are going to play high-end games on their phones? Microsoft obviously isn't hurting for money but watching Apple taking cuts from game dev and doing basically nothing while pulling billions in profit must not sit well with them.
