Though I agree with him that Microsoft would love to be "#1", I think they realize at this point that that's probably far out of reach and would rather just remain relevant. In a business, winning is important, yes, but staying afloat is just as important.

I dunno if microsoft are struggling to even win in their hometown, there will be conversations 2-3 years down the line as to whether they presume the PS5 will dominate too and whether there is a point to releasing a next gen xbox 

Samsung and Apple dominate in phone sales, that hasn't stopped Microsoft from selling phones. Google dominate in internet searches, that hasn't stopped Microsoft from using Bing.

MS entered the phone space late. You dont think they want to be #1. Theyre definitely working towards it, buying Nokia was a good sign.

And Bing again was a reform of a failed search engine (windows live) they've actually gained some good traction too. You dont think they want to remain 2nd place or 3rd place and see ad revenue's that they could have go to google, do you?
