| Arkaign said: Microsoft doesn't care about Sony any more. To concern themselves now with that when windows is contracting by 10% every year would be preposterous. Google and Apple are the enemy now, make no mistake about that. Back in the 90s the theory was that consoles could threaten PC supremacy, a flat out stupid concept that proved utterly wrong. Meanwhile Microsoft got completely blind sided by mobile. Everything they're doing is now focused on apple and Google, mobile is their goal now, while maintaining backoffice and cloud leadership. Xbox is no longer more than an asterisk in their worries, and most of their attention there is damage control rather than plans to expand or succeed in the home box sector. At most, they want to transition Xbox branding to their mobile products to shore up against the epic success Google and Apple are having with mobile gaming sales. Xbox Done. |
Keep telling yourself Microsoft don't care about Sony anymore. I wonder then what will inspire their next movements in the industry. The only thing in the gaming industry that changed their visision was the peripheral war with the Wii, and Sony and Nintendo already had their own so they bought project Natal and made it the Kinect.I wonder why the Xbox One is now no different from the PS4. Also newsflash, Mobile gaming is throwing off the whole console industry, including Nintendo. Nintendo maintains that Mobile is the reason for their issues with the DS. When Sony is no longer an issue to MS, they will evacuate the industry just like they did with the Zune. The only industry the MS wont back out of is the one that is their bread and butter. When it comes to gaming just like Sega, Sony and Nintendo will go down with the ship since it is their bread and butter. Imagine that. Before Sony entered the industry, their board laughed at the idea of having a videogame console, while Nintendo was using their workers behind their backs. Who would've thought it would become their bread and butter.
