The Death of HD-DVD and Why Microsoft is Dying

[sharky]

Microsoft makes more money in a day then Apple makes in a month.

Vista is selling like hotcakes and MS profits were up like 87% last quarter.

Xbox 360 has made roughly 500 million dollars of profit the last six months.

Those are all publically available and not arguable.

So many people hate MS they are always hoping they leave, but they will not. Sony is far more likely to leave the videogame business than MS. PS3 has already lost more money than Xbox 1. It's a fact. PS3 has lost billions of dollars. Nobody talks about that, but it is simply a fact.

360 has already shipped 17.7 million, the Xbox 1 shipped 24-25 million it's whole life. So most likely this year 360 will surpass Xbox 1 lifetime shipments. And it's turned in two straight profitable quarters which Xbox 1 never did. Xbox 1 only had one it's whole life! With no end in sight, I cant see 360 turning unprofitable anytime soon.

PS3 will never catch 360 in USA, it's just impossible. It would have to outsell by 200k for 29 months just to tie!

PS3 outsold 360 in USA one month, which prompted millions of microsoft is doomed posts. 360 beat the PS3 14 months in a row before that. Gee, double standard much? Ps3 often sold 60-80k in that time. Can you IMAGINE if 360 ever sold that low an amount? Can you even IMAGINE what people would say about 360? Yet PS3 sold that pitiful amount many times and it was fine. Double standard? 360 sells 230k and 100 million playstation fanboys vaporize the internet saying it's doomed! PS3 couldn't even sell on tenth of that amount for twenty months in a row!

The fact is PS3 is underperforming, losing huge amounts of money, and personally I think Sony will make a Wii style console by next generation.
