Nintendo is leading the market again, and saved it from all the first person shooters flooding the markets
in the past 3 years, that forced a change on how games are made and played with the help of Mario of course..
Microsoft will have to change some of its online policy in the future, if not they will lose more gamers to Sony's
free online service...Sony just reported that they added 3 million new online users this past summer, and the Wii U
will get gamers flocking because they can play Call of duty and Mario in one console....

big pile of crap..... I have been there done that 20 times over in all my financial market classes..... apple stock has been overstated for years and it was getting worst in the past month..... people talking about cloud and alll.... yeah then again cloud computing is not made out of thin air.... and most of it run on windows server so again wrong..... MS is there to stay and in 20 years it'll be still there.... you might make a lot of money on the short term with other stocks because the market is ridiculous right now... but MS stock is a safer investment than most option out there.... apple is a joke when it comes to market share even on phones.... and windows phone 7 OS might not have a market right now but in many way is better than iOS (honnestly people that stuff is so bad even MS couldn't fuck it up more) and windows 8 if they go the way they are hinting at as more than one advantage over iOS.... and until proven wrong my nokia phones in the past have always been more reliable than any smartphone out there right now....
I'm not giving 10 years to apple before there joke of concept caves in..... once smartphone becomes actual unavoidable devices for everybody (meaning we actually need it as much as your car to do something, not just to be in and have the last stupid useless app) then iPhone will start to show it's limitation a design with nothing behind for it beside an over priced clunky marketplace..... because as a daily life tool and especially a professional one this is nowhere close to mass market product and usefulness...
MS will have none of this issues on the long run..... and android well until it becomes the main OS on PCs won't be a long term threat to MS either.....
now to go back on the stock market the real issue today compare to 10 or 20 years ago, it's that back then only a few where trading and they knew for the most part what they were doing now a days you have so much morons trading like it is las vegas and overstating stocks like apple that anyway you want to look at it is hard to do an valuation on what is going to happen..... but once again a stock like MS will survive better to market fluctuation on the long run than apple is..... and any financial analyst that say different either has insider info we don't have or is just as crazy as the market and you should change fast....
MS is one of those brand along coke and mcdonald's that even if they are not the best and are not at the top of their form will still be there for your grand kids unless major global economic events happen.... not many company can claim that and certainly not apple....
