yea i noticed that lol

i was about to edit my comment but you already replied to me lol

Ms is the one dying? I don't see them selling parts of themselves to survive.... People who claim ms is dying only show what they want to happen not what is. It's nowhere near dying nor has potential too like someone here said. Whatever that even means is beyond me. Ms can't get ran over by a truck like we humans can.



Not even sure how ms doom threads exist. The next box could cost them more than Sonys entire net worth in losses and they'd still have billions in cash reserves alone.

MS dying is far from the truth. However the world is changing and there are tough times ahead.

The biggest treat facing MS and more so Windows is that many emerging economies do not want to rely on a foreign country providing the base of their private and public IT infrastructure.

India, China, Russia and other Asian and S.American countries realizes the problems that are associated with depending on a foreign country to provide such a vital service and are actively seeking to produce and market their own OSes. In other words these countries want their very own "Windows" for their people.  The financial gains will also benefit these countries rather than go to America.

Their was a meeting last year between certain world organizations outside of N.America to discuss this.

For so long many people (and I have read many of the comments on this forum) thought that MS can just buy success no matter what market they choose to venture in. They cannot.

Yes, MS is alive and kicking but the world is not what it once was.

They will be dying when their bottom line is effected.
You can't say a company is dying when they are profiting in billions.

Windows 8 is selling quite well despite some negative impressions and all new laptops are pretty much bundled with it, along with the desktops

XBox 720 will be the same beast as the 360 was. It's just a matter of them not rushing it so we get the RROD again.

I agree with a lot of what he said but he still comes across as a bit of an apologist. Investors and analysts are worried on a few fronts and with good reason. Still, that's far from saying the company is dying. Microsoft is healthy and will be healthy for many years. The things analysts are raising red flags on are probably minor, but it's also important how Microsoft addresses them.

Minor problems now can turn into trends with serious consequences down the road.

Isnt the 360 making money?

Dying? I haven't heard that. I have just been hearing they have been hurting in their divisions other than Xbox, just like Sony has.

i am pretty sure at the moment M$ is the most successful out of the 3 as a company all together

M$ - record quarterly revenue... continued dominance in the PC landscape and slowly making headway into the mobile markets... Xbox 360 console outselling the PS3 nearly 2-1 in the biggest videogame market on the planet (North America)...

Conclusion: M$ IS DYING!!!

Sony - record losses... undergoing a complete restructuring of consumer electronics operations to stop the bleeding... went from almost total dominance in the videogame console market to third place in marketshare in less than a generation...

Conclusion: SONY IS DOMINATING!!!

Well, anyone who has their foot in the gaming business is going to be die a horrible death at some point. We all know this as a fact.
