If results like these cause this kind of reaction, all hell will break loose when Sony does their fiscal report.

Whats with all the Microsft troll articles?

These things happen in circles.

Wii was at beggining of the year, then we got a load of PS3 is doomed... seems its the 360s turn.



                            

@Torilian: Maybe you can ban mario64 because he is a multi nick, already banned user. It's at least his fifth user, all the previous ones already banned. He was Tim_Duncan, Tony_Parker, Manu_Ginobili, and _Forza3. All of them banned because he enjoys trolling against everything that is not Sony.

This analysts opinion is indicative of why the world markets went to hell in a blink of the eye. I am sorry, but I put less stock in analysts then I do in fairy tale creatures. If these guys were so smart then why weren't they openly advocating to their investors that they leave the market right before it collapsed.

This analyst suffers from a deplorable lack of imagination like most of them. That is something you need to nail the future. For instance how does a company that develops products for markets that do not exist yet not qualify as being edgy. I mean Microsoft has been and still are pioneers. How many companies are developing operating systems to develop operating systems for robots. No they are not big now, but wait ten years you know when people will be bitching about this new Microsoft monopoly, and how unfair that is.

Bottom line calling yourself an analyst doesn't make you smart. In fact it seems lately to be proof positive that you are stupid. Personally I would reserve edge losing for companies that are contracting. Not companies that are expanding. I would reserve it for companies that are actually losing money. Rather then companies making money. Companies that have piss poor future prospects. Not companies that are being proactive towards the future.

For those saying that Microsoft's diversification of business is bad. You need to review the field of natural selection. Specialists die fast, and generalists fucking live forever. That is the way with almost any system. The more things you are doing the better, because your not just betting on one skill no matter how high the payout. Things as they always will change over time. Having yourself spread out is a good way to weather change. Ask Mr Panda how being the best eater of Bamboo in the world is paying out for him. Well if you can find one anyway.

Simply put this thinking only in terms of the moment is what got us in trouble in the first place. Analysts aren't looking at five, ten, or fifteen years. They are looking at one, two, or three months. With a side of what the hell does the word context mean. That is what got them in big trouble last year. Anyway I see no more reason to post a analysts thoughts then the thoughts of a street bum. At least the homeless guy has more of an excuse.


Thats a damn good post. Its too sad to see that there are so many Microsoft Haters out there. Microsoft IS constantly inovating despite what some fanboys (whether they be apple, SONY or nintendo) claim. Sure vista isnt great but windows 7 is AMAZING!! im currently using the beta and it is extremly nice. As for not making as much money as they used to its called a RECESSION! every company is not making as much money as they used to thats why its called a recession. God some people (including analysts) are retarted



I mostly play RTS and Moba style games now adays as well as ALOT of benchmarking. I do play other games however such as the witcher 3 and Crysis 3, and recently Ashes of the Singularity. I love gaming on the cutting edge and refuse to accept any compromises. Proud member of the Glorious PC Gaming Master Race. Long Live SHIO!!!!

This is not about 'hating MS' or 'loving Windows 7'.

The problem is : is it a well run company ? Will it be as successful as it was in the future ? Is it inovating enough ?

This analyst thinks not, people who sold MS shares by millions after the results were published (shares lost 10 %) think not either...

Calling people retards won't help you understand why those millions of people or those dozens of analysts disagree with you...



(duplicate post)



considering the fact that windows is still the most used os in the world. I think ms is doing fine, but i do agree about zunes though and internet explorer

It doesn't matter who is profitable first, what matters is who will be the most profitable in the long run.

MS Entertainement Division is losing 130 million $ this quarter by the way...


And the loss was attributable to non-gaming business.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick
