| Willem said: MS Stocks are also plummeting lately due to the pessimistic forecasts, and it's possible that shareholders want MS to go back to their core-business, Windows and (mobile) enterprise software + solutions to make MicroSoft as a whole more profitable again. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: this whole xbox-business is a mistake by MS, no other division from MicroSoft profits from those activities , the xbox has nothing in relevance to search, enterprise solutions, Windows or other hardware like keyboards & mice or Zune. It cost them billions of dollars and bad reputation while Vista, Windows Mobile, Search are suffering and Office facing more and more competition. Their only vision was to go after Sony and get marketshare, and for what ? what was their vision behind that decision ? To become dominant and lock-in developers and consumers, so it's easier to stall innovations in the console business to make "Games For Windows or DX 10/11/12/##" look better and keep Windows as the most viable platform for the media-hub ? Or sell overpriced accessories like they're already doing, camouflaged by the concept of 'giving customers choice ?' |
Again with that MS hater...
Evan Wells (Uncharted 2): I think the differences that you see between any two games has much more to do with the developer than whether it’s on the Xbox or PS3.
