MS gets gaming believe it or not. Windows has no competitors on PC, sure, but MS has competitors in the console and platform space that they are doing well against.
- JohnWhigham 5y agoI don't know if I'd call the Microsoft competing "well" against Sony when the PS4 outsold the Xbox One more than 2:1. I think it was this that MS finally realized they need to leverage PC gaming (after neglecting it for years) if they want to rule gaming. I do believe they now are poised to win this generation though with the unification of Xbox and PC.
- runawaybottle 5y agoI think that anecdote evens out with the fact that both the 360 and Wii sold as well or better than the PS3. The successor of the PS2 can’t fumble like that. In the grand scheme of things, the console wars have left all the companies involved within striking distance of each other.
- the-dude 5y agoWhat does digital only mean?
- runawaybottle 5y agoIt means, there is no Xbox. There is only a box that logs you into Microsoft’s platform, and you will pay them for everything.
