Not Samsung but cloud yes. MS basically want you to play their games and remove any barrier to that goal. While I agree that because of MS mistakes, the traditional console is out of reach for them in the short term because it requires Sony and Nintendo making some huge mistakes and MS hitting just about everything perfect to actually make a dent now. The Xbox one was really a huge mistake by MS especially since they were going into that gen with some level of momentum. It took way to long and to many missteps getting to now where you can say MS is getting into some type of software grove and even still isn't hitting the same as Sony and Nintendo. When all else fails, the rule is to fall back on what you do best and where the better part of their talent is at which is the PC space. Either way, going that route doesn't bleed money as it can with a console if you are not hitting your numbers. |
My point was only about : making something available is not the same as forcing anyone to use it.
As for the console market itself. Ms mistake accelerated their transition but this is not the only problem. The market condition itself have shifted to make traditionnal consoles extremly hard to make and generate profit out of.
Even as Sony was trashing MS console sales wise they were actualy the worst when it came to ROI. And so they also drasticly increase their pc support just as MS did 10 years ago. Sony as more leeway to react and keep full prioprietaries devices with close ecosystem a little longer but still expect big increase in price for next gen device and game and they will still increase their PC support.
