This seems like a very premature post. Microsoft still hasn't tackled mobile, and the latest reports show Windows Phone to be declining at a fast rate. Its market share in China is now less than at launch.
- bejuizb123 12y agoChina is an insanely complicated marketplace (No offense meant). You cannot judge a company or predict its downfall, just by failing at China. I think its still a market that needs a lot of studying. Lots of companies have failed there, and changed their strategy. US marketplace is the backbone for all of these companies.
- higherpurpose 12y agoThe losses are happening all over, not just China. In China they've seen the biggest loss though, at a time when Apple for example is doing very well, and of course Android has like 90 percent market share in China already. The Chinese market has rejected Windows Phone.
- ZenoArrow 12y agoChina is absolutely dominated by Android, even more so than most markets. Microsoft is used to playing the long game (it paid off with the Xbox division, for example), as long as their phones remain competitive, and their app ecosystem continues to grow, it's just a matter of time before more people see them as a strong option.
