This is undoubtedly huge in the gaming world...and even further proof MS is here for the long run.
I've stated before how shocked I was too see the scrutiny of MS and the idea that they were throwing in the towel..over basically ONE generation of insufficient sales..which are sales only in comparison to Sony (and possibly Nintendo).
That doesn't automatically make the sales of the 1 a concluded failure...because in retrospect...the sales figures of the 1 are still profitable.in its own regards.
With that said...MS is a company that is fueled by competition...and as consumers...we should NEVER forget that.
Let me...if be it not anyone else..be the one to inform you...that without question MS is devoted to its gaming divisions. Both hardware and software.
They have a business mind of a shark to nature...and unless some miraculous setback...they will continue to consume as many victims as possible with little to no remorse.
Look at what they did to Bungie. I shouldn't have to reiterate the decisiveness or pure aggressiveness it took to basically shitt all over their own bread and butter and STILL look at its customer square in the eye and say...you're gonna buy what we sell.
I mean just imagine Nintendo dropping Mario...you can't..can you?
The point is MS isn't going anywhere for a long time and the speculation needs to stop. I'm going on record to say that even if...say Nintendo were to merge with a major tech company (I'm still looking at you Apple)...that type of acquisition or better yet collaboration...would only spark a bigger competitive approach with the big M.
Halo. VR. GAME OVER.
