Look at it this way.
If you had to buy a stock based solely on mobile’s future where would you rank Apple, Google and Microsoft.
One battle they’re really missing out on and it’s a big one is streaming boxes. Roku, Apple TV and Fire TV are going to be potent gateways in the future. You can’t compete against a $40 box with a $400 box. I might be able to convince a senior citizen father to spend $40 to get programs he wants when he wants them, never $400.
There hasn’t been one thing Microsoft has invented, I mean truly invented, that was a hot tech, must have thing.
DOS they bought, Windows they stole, Xbox they developed through fear, ZUNE!!!!! LOL....
Seriously I am hard pressed to really think of anything they’ve originated... ever. They are exceptional at making money though and being an also ran in a variety of categories.
If they ever decide to cut off support for Xbox 360, Sony should send them cake because apparently PS4 beats the crap out of XBox One.
