PlayStation may win many battles, But Windows will win the war.

I don't see mobile device completely replacing Windows, especially for avid gamers and business environments. Atleast not in 20 years.

I mean given PCs aren't compact devices they will generally be the place for cutting edge specs. There is still plenty of demand for laptops and tablets running Windows. People thought Linux would replace Windows but it hasn't happened, Valve couldn't even make it a relevant gaming platform.

In a nutshell, competing devices have a long way to go to kill WIndows and MS will work to keep Windows relevant. I'll be surprised if Xbox doesn't turn into a Windows device at some point.

Xbox turns into a windows device ? Isn't that called a PC where you can play games and do other task like email, browsing, MS office etc ...

 

It probably sounds dumb, but take into consideration how easy that would make game development for Xbox. If a PC version exist, it could easily be an Xbox game. Vice versa as well. MS could also make it easier to put games on the digital marketplace kinda like Steam.

As long as Xbox feels like a console (console interface) and its relatively cheap, it doesn't matter what's really happening under the hood.
