Analyst Thinks Xbox Game Revenue Will Pass PlayStation Thanks to Activision Blizzard Acquisition

According to one industry analyst, Xbox looks to potentially move in front of PlayStation in terms of game revenue for the first time ever. This leap is largely due to Microsoft officially acquiring Activision Blizzard, a massive player in the gaming industry in its own right. Since breaking into the home console space with the original Xbox in 2001, Microsoft has historically been a step behind its rival Sony. That said, the massive $69 billion acquisition looks to place Xbox ahead of its competition for the first time ever.
