| CGI-Quality said: If that's their goal, they aren't doing a very good job, at least not this time around. I'm one of the few that thinks differently, however. I believe last gen, they want to stop the onslaught of PlayStation. Much of what they did worked! Problem is, they didn't give the best follow-up. I, too, believe they'll remain in the industry, but hardly to "stop the PlayStation". There's probably not much they can do without seriously hurting themselves. |
I think the lesson last gen was: when you hurt your competitor, you have to kill it and dominate. Sega hurted Nintendo with the Genesis but didn't managed to kill them and we know who is in the market today. MS managed to be competitive, but they never managed to be good enough to become leaders on the market like Sony and Nintendo did several times.
I think their original goal was the same as usual: have a Windows/MS device on peoples desks (PC), living room (XBox) and pockets (mobile). The last two never worked because there was other companies that were more competitive and adapted to this markets.
