Microsoft needs to do something though in their fight against a rapidly growing threat (Google). The 40+ billion bid may have seemed like a bad decision but if it helped to keep their core businesses safe it would have been more than worth it. Microsoft needs new leadership because in my opinion they should be doing a lot better online and with the 360 (bad decisions have cost millions of console sales, lost opportunities of buying successful game developers, and keeping their internal studios happy). |
quite frankly, microsoft doesn't really care about 360. it's only a very peripheral business for the company. plus, game studios are so much cheaper price just won't affect any acquisition decisons for microsoft. search, is much more core to the company. microsoft's chief rival appears to be google now, not IBM, not Apple, even. |
They care, they wouldn't have stuck with the system this long and obviously plan to continue with it if they didn't care. It's just that Google is far more of a threat to them and their core businesses than Sony (I guess I'm agreeing with you on your second point). |
well, yeah, like you said, they DO care, i was just trying to say they it's more of a peripheral business than search, so in terms of "level of care", it's quite low on the list. probably not as low as zune, though.
