I honestly thought this happened a long time ago.

iOs passed them over a year ago. android just did. Won't be long before the Windows ecosystem does as well... Especially with the big push coming from Halo Spartan Assault and stuff like  this - http://www.engadget.com/2013/08/21/gameloft-amiga-games-windows-8-windows-phone/

Whats left after that?  Blackberry VS dedicated handheld gaming...Fight!

lol windows, such a failing market for microsoft

lol...not really.

Desktop is getting to 10% marketshare and will keep climbing and phone is good enough to get them where they need to be in 5 years time (cloud).


tell me how well their tablet is doing, yea...its getting its butt kicked. It sales are just terrible and they are having to reduce the price incredibly, and it still isnt working. Their phones have such a small market share even when microsoft tries to spin it. Microsoft has no chance in the market right now, they will never come close to IOS or Android

Tablets are doing better than Android tablets did in the first 2 quarters of availability

Also Windows phone is doing a lot better than people realize. Nearing 4% marketshare worldwide and being the fastest growth platform

The desktop and laptop marketshare is on the rise and pretty much unchallenged on the mid to high end.

 

The days of Microsoft OS dominence is over but you have to look no further than their financials to see both windows phone and windows divisions are profitable. Google for all their marketshare and dominance with android still depends on ads like a hooker depends on crack to make money.

There is no one on this earth that could actually say the surface is succesful, it is not. It is a failure right now, it made their profits go down and

And Being the Fastest growing platform means crap, I could sell 1 card tommorow, and sell 5 the next day and say "IM THE FASTEST GROWING CARD MAKER!!" Its going to to take microsoft a long long long ass time to be able to compete with those markets of android and IOS, if they ever do at all.

 

Now i will say this, i like their phones, and i do think there could be a market for them, but i just dont see a market for them in tablets. they are just bad at making tablets.
