Apple has no history in gaming, they tried with Pippin and failed. Apple empire will fall, it will happen just like it happened to IBM, Microsoft, Sony companies that ruled the 80s and 90s.

Microsoft
1992: Employees: 15.300 revenue: 2.777 billion USD
2002: Employees: 50.000 revenue: 28.365 billion USD
2011: Employees: 90.000 revenue: 69.943 billion USD
--> When did they collapse?!
IBM
1999: Employees: ??? revenue: 64 billion USD
2002: Employees: 316.000 revenue 81 billion USD
2011: Employees: 426.000 revenue: 107 billion USD
--> When did they collapse?!

So you really want to compare a giant like Microsoft with a little rat like Sony ?
Compare MS with Apple or Google.

The poster before him said that MS and IBM had fallen since the 80s/90s. DirtyP2002 was just showing that they hadn't fallen and had actually prospered.
|
my bad. but i think everyone know that based on Financial Reports, MS allways posts revenue of 20b or 30b and profits of 6b.
|
WTF!
Well, no.
revenues:
- 2000: 23b
- 2001: 25b
- 2002: 28b
- 2003: 32b
- 2004: 37b
- 2005: 40b
- 2006: 44b
- 2007: 51b
- 2008: 60b
- 2009: 58b
- 2010: 62b
- 2011: 70b
Nowhere close to "always 20b or 30b"
*edit* profit for 2011: 23.15 billion USD. So not about 6 billion. Maybe 6 billion per Q.
