well last track numbers on win8 license sales are on track to take over OS X last 3 distribution numbers within the next 12 months....
WP is on track to take over iOS second spot in several major emerging countries and some European countries too.... (Europe is twice the number of inhabitant than NA may I remind you)
heck even bing is eating up market shares from google which is nothing short from a miracle....
and basing XB1 sales forecast on the minority of hardcore gamers like us would be the dumbest thing to do for financial investor.... that box will appeal to way more than the regular gamer I'm sure of it.... and even if it tracks behind PS4 it will still be a commercial success
and if sales number were to be the only relevant fact in finance apple market cap wouldn't be that high.... they are still a miserable second in PC OS share, are dwarfed by android in the mobile OS market and well tablet is still a marginal market overall even if growing fast.... are non existent in servers and have been merely showing redesigns barely upgraded stuff for half decade now.... the only really big business they have is iTune....
MS on the other hand has way more things in the pipeline than apple or many of its competitor they are leading in so many businesses and have so much in R&D that they are safe for several decades from a financial state point.... but hey true... regular joe opinions on finance is always fun to read....
