Yeah. Who cares about securing gaming wins if cloud computing and services can earn 10x that?Cloud computing maybe, but not gaming.
Cloud computing and services are huge, growing, and will eventually dominate all computing. Gaming will just be a service running on the Cloud and if MS are taking money from everyone making and operating games, they win.I don't agree with the idea that Sony needs PS5 to be more successful and MS can just write it off if they fail.
Success is absolutely critical for both. MS is looking for more growth markets to protect their margins (which eventually will fall) on Azure.
How can gaming ever be anything more than a drop in the ocean for MS? Whereas it's something like a quarter of Sony's monies. What will MS lose next gen if Xbox Console hardware flops utterly, seeing as they have PC gaming and now streaming to phones? How ruined are MS's current financials given the relative flunk of XB1?
