Would Xbox even exist? The Xbox 360 certainly wouldn't, because the 'Entertainment' division was subsidised by the rest of Microsoft. It was only 3 years into the war against Wii and PS3 that the Xbox 360 started to win and then Kinect blew all else out of the water.
The cash helped make that possible.
On the downside, it's a shame the Microsoft Courier tablet was killed just before the iPad was released.
- ralfn 13y agoThe cash is still doing that. Its not like its profitable. But it could have been, Ballmer just does the same dumb thing over and over again. He attacks a competitor and tries to poison the profitability in a market, with no plan or intent to make a profit. He was going to kill Sony and spend a lot money trying to do that. He was going to kill Google, yet fails to realize that Bing heavy resource consumption is simple too expensive to be price competitive. They dont innovate, they attack and poison the well. I really dont understand why stockholders put up with jungle boy acting out like that. I whish Nicrosoft would just focus on its wn products and profitability, but i doubt Ballmer will ever be a big enough man to take that road.
