I thought that wouldn't be necessary because someone would give the right answers eventually anyway. But here goes: 1. Nintendo and Sony are tied at two consecutive wins each. 2. Xbox was created as a defense for Windows as Sony's goal in the video game market was to become the central platform for all sorts of entertainment, but Sony wasn't interested in using Windows as the OS for PlayStation. In hindsight we know that Microsoft's fear was without grounds because consoles taking over the living room was never meant to be. Sony's full force attempt with the PS3 backfired badly, same as when Microsoft upped the ante with the Xbox One. Over the course of the last ten years the living room also became less and less the central place for entertainment as the freedom of smart devices fit the lifestyle of people better. So as far as Microsoft's goal to protect Windows goes, their real battle has shifted to be against iOS and Android. That was a bit of a longwinded answer, but it should help people to understand why Microsoft has been losing interest in Xbox lately, shifted formerly exclusive games to the PC and has become a lot less aggressive in pursuing exclusivity deals with third parties. 3. Nintendo. 4. Mario Bros. had no bosses at all. 5. NEC for their TG-16 a.k.a. PC Engine. |
Thank you.
