I’m not talking hardware, but just software.

With the amount of studios MS has, along with the games IP, is MS now the most valuable games developer/publisher?

I mean, just look at the IP alone.

Halo

Gears

Forza MS

Forza H

Flight SIM

Hellblade

Doom

Rage

Wolfenstein

TES

Minecraft

AOE

Fallout

Etc Etc Etc

Is there any major dev or publisher that has an equal amount of studios and IP? I mean, Minecraft alone is bigger than 99% of games.

Also, what value would it be worth now?

There are a few different metrics but I would say yes because

  • They have the most billion dollar + IP’s as far as I know, even more than Nintendo
  • They have the the greatest number of high quality internal developers
  • They have the best selling game of all time with the most monthly active players
  • They have by far the number game subscription service

No. Sony still has double the annual revenue of MS Gaming. $20 billion to $10 billion. I don’t think Microsoft can ever exceed Sony, but they can get to close than 2 to 1 down. Maybe 1.3 to 1.

Possibly, but Tencent probably still surpases them in book value.
