Microsoft giving evidence for Epic games is a stupid risk. if the judge sides with epic about computing devices needing to be open and apply that we are looking at end of console business...

So what? is this bad for xbox console? yup. But xbox is more than just console.. can't say the same for Nintendo and Playstation.
I would bet anyday of the week that MS would love to see Sony and Nintendo "Close Ecosystem" dead! Even if that means the end of the "closed ecosystem" of the xbox console, this would be a huge victory for MS.
Xbox is about services and cloud gaming, consoles a just "extra option". They would love to see console gaming dead since they can't grab a hold in this market, also Playstation and Nintendo can't compete outside current "console market & rules".

What the ridiculous did you just spout...?

enkiduxiv1857d ago

Microsoft wants to end the console business. That's why they created XBOX in the first place. Destroy the competition and get everyone to migrate to Windows. They just haven't been all the successful. Game Pass will probably do it eventually.

I've heard some stupid opinions but yours takes the cake. Congrats on having the dumbest opinion on the internet.

It’s amazing the balls fortnite gave epic and how scummy Microsoft is for siding with them in this. This is ALL about fortnite profits from stores. They want to take home even MORE money. The lengths they are going. Epic literally wants to turn gaming on its head over 30% that’s been the same since forever. Everything else is more expensive and they still aren’t upping cost and fees in devs. If fortnite was not the major hit it became this would have never happened. I am really shocked and disappointed that Microsoft is trying to support this. The greed is real. I’ll never buy a epic game again. Microsoft is literally like the guy that sides with the villain so he can be saved later.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing38d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit38d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing38d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9238d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
