Their only real contribution was Xbox Live which set a trend. The Xbox is just a replacement name for Zune on PC's and tablets since they dropped that brand. If you dominate MS in sales they leave, which is exactly what they did with the IPod market. They don't have to run out of money to break. |
There were tablets running windows way before Ipad or Android tablets were released. They discontinued Zune because they saw other opportunties that would be better suited for them. No question Ipods dominate the market, but if MS really saw something there they would have continued to pursue the market. They remained in the console market dominated by Sony, Windows Phones are still here even though Android and iOS dominate the market, and the release of the Surface tablets where Google and Apple are the dominate players. Let's not forget the search engine market that is dominated by google.
