      Yes, they are.

      They’re currently getting outsold over 2:1 by Playstation. They have tens of millions less service subscribers than Playstation has. They are being skipped by many big third party games. Owning windows doesn’t get them any money from games sold on Steam/Epic/etc.

      How are they not in last place in gaming? They’re last in revenue. They’re last in software sales. They’re last in hardware sales. They’re last in subscriber numbers. They’re last in peripheral sales. They’re last in…you get the point.
