Pretty much steam. I am not a fan of where it's going, but I believe it's something Windows in general needs. What I find interesting, is that it's almost as if MS just woke up one day and realized; "what's wrong with us? we have 100s of millions of people out there every year running our windows OS. We have tons of companies feeding off the OS we have made. Yet we are investing billions fighting a losing battle to the Playstation???? Fuck us we must be stupid. Let's get everyone that uses Windows buying games from our store instead. Fuck consoles. let's just focus on selling the games." I swear this is exactly what MS is thinking. |
I kind of agree but I am pretty sure they will not leave the home console business. What home consoles and hardware does, is to build brand awareness. And even though Windows and XBox are small business segments compared to servers and industry solutions, they are very important to establishing the Microsoft brand, especially home consoles.
