PSNow added the ability to download games after GamePass had been out a year.
Oh for sure; just saying that you can now actually compare the downloadable options between the 2 services, whereas it would be pretty daft to try to compare original PSNow to GamePass.
Slightly different call than Gates got from Jobs after they bought Bungie/Halo, lol
I agree with you, but he really can't go any more upwards without getting into boring positions that he wouldnt like lol. He reports directly to the ceo of microsoft
It was specifically "One" box that all your cable, satellite, optical media and streaming apps would use. It would know everything you were watching and with the Kinect, it would know exactly who was in the room watching it.
Abbreviating Microsoft as M$.
Because console war internet talk about MS only wanting $ and nothing else.
Sony went all in on games after the failure on the ps3 launch, the xbox one and the ps3 are on the same track, give Microsoft a chance to have their "ps4" moment with XSX, if they fail again then thats their fault but they are clearly trying to fix their mistakes. Don't forget Sony has been doing this a lot longer than MS, its not surprising they are better at certain things. Same goes for Nintendo they had the Wii U and they realize they made mistakes so they put out the Switch.
Embarrassing.
Most of the moves from 2015 onward was trying to stay competitive but moving into the "future" that we have at the present and moving towards next-gen. The most reactionary thing was removal of Kinect and dropping price and that was after the first big reaction of the original policies.
No. The user has been warned...let's move on from giving the troll food :)
They've managed to get and keep it a profitable business even while making their biggest titles available in perpetuity for a price unseen in this industry previously. They are rolling out more SKUs with a higher profit margin than anyone else (Elite controllers, One X, All-Digital over device lifetime.) They are doing it right.
Yes, you act as if MS sold a disastrous 13 million consoles this generation like the Wii U and had to consolidate their 2 biggest markets into one in order to successfully comeback. MS has had a respectable generation and learned valuable lessons and have expanded their markets and properly prepared for the future.
Depends on what they wanted to do for their future...if they sold 85m units...I doubt them releasing it on PC would have made any type of dent of people NOT getting the console...lol.
I'll never understand responses like this. Of course it would be a different situation, and highly likely they wouldn't have done as many consumer-friendly moves as they have. Does that mean we shouldn't still be greatful that they've made them? Of course not. We shouldn't withhold praise based on pointless hypotheticals.
The streaming on PSNow is still god awful. The faster Sony can move to azure servers the better the performance will be I believe.
They're also a reaction to predicting the future of the markets as well such as streaming and subscription services which Microsoft has heavily invested into and are properly prepared for and synergizes with the other core pillars of their business.

Pretty sure they disputed that directly. They chose willingly to work on Gears.
