    Yes. Sure. It’s the games are the waste of money.

    Hey co-pilot, use a few peta-cycles and the RAM of a small city to try to detect what kind of document I’m working on writing!

    You can’t tell me the 360 days weren’t profitable!! All the controllers, Kinects, Xbox Live, all that stuff sold, for 11+years as the leader… The Kinect, at one point, was the fastest selling electronic ever…

      Yup, the decline came when MS decided to dilute the Xbox with crap like an focus on watching TV and streaming. That’s something noone wanted, and so the costumers went for the platform that actually focused on gaming - the Playstation. After this decision, which i am very sure came from execs which didn’t understand their product, they have been forced to play catch up.

          I think Valve will step in for that, and Sony will have a hard time competing.

          They’re very different customer bases. Although with the Steam Machine out, closer than ever. But the likely price difference will make things hard for Valve.

          As if Sony is the only player here. We’re literally in /c/pcmasterrace.

          Consoles became irrelevant when they were no longer the graphical leader a few generations ago.

            They are in the console space… you’d be surprised but there people that can’t be bothered with building a computer and doing all this tech stuff. They just want to buy a machine where you put game disc and game plays.

    They are about to shift the losses from AI onto the XBOX division - that’s what this statement means

    Sounds a lot like a parent* telling their offspring to get out and get a job. Lol - that’s what popped in my head
