I'm laughing at the notion that MS must have failed in that strategy simply because the PS3 ranked higher in Netflix use. I mean, that's a nice victory for Sony I guess, but there's much more to being the centerpiece of home entertainment than Netflix. Xbox has tons of other apps like UFC, FIOS, ESPN3, etc etc. Too many to list. They're pushing for something much more than being a Netflix/Bluray box. If they weren't making such huge strides, you wouldn't hear rumors about the next console looking to replace your cable box. But apparently they should fold up shop because more people stream movies on PS3? |
So did you pay for Xbox's UFC, FIOS, ESPN3, etc etc? How many subscribers in those 'apps' compared to Netflix? Which one is higher? Xbox can't even play Blu-Rays so using Xbox for movies is out of the question. MS is forced to fight for niche programmes that directly compete with Cable providers and they have little to no marketshare in that departement.
If you say MS's goal is to become the centerpiece for home entertainment, then they have failed. They have little to no market share for movies, and they little to no market shares for cable programming.
