LMAO this isn't news MS wants out there a week before E3
Sure, but it suddenly adds a lot of gravity to their E3 presentation and lineup for the year. How does Microsoft expect to rebound from a down year.

Wow.. Minecraft and mess in the same sentence.
That blame rest entirely upon Don Matrick. I hope he is happy having basically destroyed all the progress Microsoft made with the 360. I would have never expected myself to go Sony, and I'm still bitter at them about the Dreamcast. But Sony simply has the best videogame consoles on the market right now.
I can't imagine the mental gymnastics required to look at Minecraft and say it underperformed. They recently announced they've sold over one hundred million copies.

Probably talking about how sales of most likely stagnated. No one is questioning it's overall success but MS did spend a ton to buy the series.

How the hell did Minecraft underperform?
What am I missing here?

Would love to know what their Minecraft projections were.
Minecraft is a big miss?
Huh? That can't be right.
What caused Halo 5 to be a big miss? MCC? Halo 4?
win 10 installs fell short from projection ? that doesn't sound right unless they had unrealistic projections.

I just looked it up and MC was at 54 million before the sale. That's not a large majorityA large majority of the 100 million sales happened before MS even owned Minecraft.
Heck, MS has very obviously not recouped anywhere close to the amount of money they spent on Minecraft yet.
Minecraft a big miss? Wasnt their a thread the other day how well it did?
When you buy something for 2.5 billion dollars you expect it to perform quite well
What caused Halo 5 to be a big miss? MCC? Halo 4?
Possibly a combination of Halo 4, MCC backlash and Destiny coming along to steal the playerbase.

Well they didn't buy the IP when the game was selling like hotcakes. Notch probably got the better end of the deal. MS got robbed lol.

Were most of these copies sold before or after Microsoft bought them?
Minecraft has done well.
Microsoft's Minecraft (aka what MS wanted Minecraft to do upon acquisition ) hasn't according to their internal targets.
When they say there's supposed to be 2x as many Xbox Ones out there right now, I'm guessing they're probably implying PS4 has 2x as many consoles sold?
I'm pretty sure its sold a lot. What are they expecting it to sell 150 million? At some point it has to slow down. There's only so many people who play games.You guys gotta remember MS spent a ton of money to acquire that IP. How much has the game sold since MS bought it?

Fans around the world have discovered the pure entertainment of what The Verge calls “an absolute masterclass in how to craft a first-person shooter” and currently the highest rated Xbox One exclusive, first-person shooter game of 2015, according to Metacritic.Yeah the PR for Halo 5 just stopped after release
After all the mistakes with the Halo franchise in the last few years is it a surprise that 5 didn't do so well. Especially when you barely play as the character people want to play as. It doesn't help that MC's story really should be done. Plus you got the Halo collection being a disaster really did not help.
Xbox One isn't selling as good because people know the PS4 is the better console and let's face it, nothing MS has done has won back a lot of the trust they squandered with the whole online only fiasco. Flip flopping and being able to throw a switch is something people will not forget lightly.
As for Minecraft, that I'm curious about. Has sales stagnated or reached it's peak?
