  • Microsoft Gaming is a new entity within Microsoft that Bethesda, Activision-Blizzard, and Xbox all fall under.
  • The division is larger than Windows itself as of last quarter, due to the Activision-Blizzard acquisition, and the continued growth of mega franchises like Fallout, Minecraft, and Overwatch.
  • To that end, Microsoft's heavy investments in gaming have led it to become one of the largest, if not the largest, publisher on consoles competing with PlayStation itself.
