There are approx ~3 billion "gamers" worldwide, why shouldn't Xbox set a goal of 1/3 of them using their platform?

Yet the biggest selling console of all time, the PS2, sold 160 million units.
Because approximately most of them exclusively play mobile games
Which to be fair Xbox still owns King and thus Candy Crush.
You even felt the need to use quotes yourself.
I’m guessing 90% of them are mobile gamers exclusively, so no, that is not realistic
"Let's go from 1 in 15 gamers to 1 in 3 gamers" sounds nice, probably gonna need employees for that!
You need the right products and services. If you know what those are, then you need employees to build them. Until you figure out what those are, you are (sadly) better off with fewer people.
Yeah this lightweight startup could really use some guidance on how to make products with global reach it's a pity they don't have any experience with that.
