Activision-Blizzard is not part of Xbox. Both are separate branches under Microsoft Gaming.
I also thought it was clear that by "dominant position in game publishing" I didn't mean the revenue taken solely from the 30% platform tax and not from hardware sales but from the combined sales of their games. It was my mistake to not clarify this. Sony releases only a handful of games per year. I also referenced user numbers of Minecraft, a cheap game with a massive user base but it would be madness to include the revenue of the Minecraft movie into a comment about the standing in game publishing.
I thought I made myself clear that my comment was about using all those games properties and Windows monopoly to further hurt the market. Making Minecraft exclusive to Windows and Xbox would be such a move.
