    Imagine Microsoft’s top management was competent and leveraged their PC operating system monopoly with their dominant gaming position (ABK + Minecraft alone are massive, not even counting Bethesda and the older 1st studios).

      with their dominant gaming position

      If only Microsoft ever had that position. They’ve been distant third since the Switch 1 came out, distant second from day 1 of the PS4.
