    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.

    Wrong. You confuse the Xbox console with Microsoft’s overall position as game publisher which includes all of Activision-Blizzard-King, Bethesda, Minecraft, Halo, Forza,… across multiple platforms.

        You’re confusing the word “dominant”. They’ve never been even remotely close to being dominant in gaming.

        Look up the revenue numbers. Nobody else comes close. Minecraft alone with its different editions is massive.
