would Minecraft almost fit into that as well? At least from the sense of buying an existing community.

If you squint, you can see the Minecraft fit: along with the Xbox side, it's quasi "coding" or "developing" for kids. Basically, you hook the kids who are interested in developing super, duper early.

Maybe, though to be fair Microsoft is far from being a newcomer to the gaming scene. Even before the Xbox, they were putting their name on games.
