One can always hope. $77 billion surely didn't help Zune, $2.5 billion for Minecraft will hardly raise Windows Phone from the deep pits of last place, and that's why I hope they don't continue taking games away from people by paying companies in an effort to gain ground.
I actually really hope this Minecraft deal succeeds, that they keep focusing on mobile and tablets and servers and OS, so that they move their paws away from my hobby. It's a completely selfish hope, but their money already denied me the pleasure of playing Tomb Raider at launch, I don't want them to mess with more of my favorite franchises.
I hope they buy all the Minecrafts, Fruit Ninjas and Flappy Birds in the world, if that would mean that they'll stop ruining my console gaming enjoyment. |
Its also a very self-defeating hope.
Sony's consoles are enormously better than they otherwise might have been due to the fantastic innovation's Microsoft has brought to the table. Most of that advancement would cease a day after Microsoft announced a withdrawal from the console market.

That's OK. MS served its purpose, the console is plenty advanced right now. If they went away, they wouldn't be missed by many.
Time for them to help Apple innovate their iPads, instead of paying off developers to screw half the world out of a game.
