I started thinking about my theory seeing some people, both in this forum and elsewhere, that just think that as MS is hugely profitable and has immense cash, then it must be always right, and markets where it fails while competitors succeed just don't count. Quite shortsighted, IMVHO, as if it's undeniable that in the short and mid term MS' two monopolies in PC market grant it immense profit and power, that market, despite not really shrinking (people replacing their PCs decreased drastically, but the total number of PC users is growing anyway thanks to new markets), in the long term will be dwarfed by other markets growing a lot faster, and in those markets MS is a minor player, so it risks losing its power, even if its richness will keep on growing, although at a slower pace. |
Yep, totally agree. I have issue when people cannot see or dismiss the important disctinction between how MS and Sony are doing in gaming vs how they're doing overall.
