Stock holders happiness?
"Wait for next year" (Phil Spencer) - Does not matter when you read this.
So... if Microsoft continue with the same expend as now... and the same income... they will recover Activision-Blizzard invest in... ~20 years?
😔
Remember Starfield players Fed Up With Inventory Management And "Lifeless" Planets
Two Xbox consoles outsold by one Xbox console... well... it is time to think in a true next generation console (not consoles, but one and only, so effort can be invested totally in one platform), Phil. But don't say "next year", because it could materialise in 5 or 6 years, really. 2026 sounds good, with cheap AMD RDNA5, Zen6, GDDR7, AMD AI 5...
Why hidden, Sony?
Microsoft handheld Qualcomm based... you will see it next year... and you will see it sink.
Agree.
2030... Xbox Killed Microsoft.
People claiming price and games killed Xbox. People claiming RRoTD and Kinect killed Xbox 360. People claiming Kinect and Game Pass killed Xbox One. People claiming Game Pass and Xbox Series S killed Xbox Series. People claiming Xbox Series S and price? killed Xbox Next?
Microsoft have a Secret weapon: A 2020 console in a new colour fashion at a 649€ price... poor Sony and Nintendo... they did not see that coming.
Companies in the stock exchange have to publish their data. Make some research, it is for free.
It is both and all... the best console with the most expensive invest in marketing and the "best" developers and the best online service with the best servers... but... well... also, the worst console with a bad invest in marketing and competition using Microsoft servers for their online services and... What is Xbox now, a console, a service, a platform, a brand, a dead project? This is a marketing problem, maybe.
The problem is not the marketing, but how you invest the money in marketing. If you invest far more than the competition and receive less... the problem is the one in charge, isn't it? Well... Phil Spencer was a marketing guy, will he be the next? Unity are hiring... :)
In 3 years, exactly.
Any handheld is a "Microsoft" handheld... already.
You can buy PS5 for 299$/249€ in some limited deals... so... Where do Microsoft live? In another planet, dimension or time? They seem to be stuck in 2020.
2024... 649$ for a 2020 hardware... well... Sony... you were right, Microsoft were wrong. Congratulations, Sony!
You pay 239$ more for the special ink and 10$ more for the SSD space, with 2020 hardware. Maybe Microsoft buys the ink to HP or Epson, so the price it is justified.
