They're clueless is many other areas as well. But this is blatant. It's like saying, "Text and typing have no place in a web browser search engine."

No, but seriously, they have no clue what the fuck they're doing.

Microsoft and their Kinnect are reminding me of the obsessive stalker girls who say, "I can make you love me."Leisher wrote:No, but seriously, they have no clue what the fuck they're doing.

PC Gaming "bigger than ever".
Steam has 75+ million users, and recently set a new record at 8+ million concurrent users.
How's that X-Box One working out for you Microsoft?

Type "xbone" into wikipedia's search. Yes, it successfully redirects you.

Should MS sell off X-Box?
Yes. MS is getting their asses kicked from every direction. Dump the stupid X-Box and start pushing the PC, running the Windows OS, as the best gaming device in the world.
Meanwhile, MS is offering BJs for people who upgrade to X-Box One.

If you've been selected, you can order a (full-priced) console from any retailer and Microsoft will credit your Xbox account with $75 ... That'll cover you for at least one Xbox One game like Destiny, ensuring your game collection gets off to a good start.
Fucking hell. That'd buy me a minimum of 10 games on steam.

SO... they were selling a $400 version without kinect, right? Which brings it down to $325?

Ye gods.
I can't believe it. MS may have found someone worse than Ballmer.
Nadella underscored the entertainment console's importance to the company.
"The single biggest digital life category, measured in both time and money spent, in a mobile-first world is gaming." he wrote.
"Xbox is one of the most-revered consumer brands, with a growing online community and service, and a raving fan base. Microsoft will continue to vigorously innovate and delight gamers with Xbox..."

I get him saying that because of the damage he could do to their stock if he bashes one of their biggest assets.
However, if he truly believes the X-Box is a great property for the company, he's an idiot.

PC hardware market worth 21.5 billion annually.
If I was a Microsoft shareholder I'd be asking why MS is so intent upon not letting go of the X-Box, which loses money, and why they ignore the PC, which they currently dominate despite themselves.
Meanwhile, Nvidia is working on what MS should be working on.

But Valve's inability to seal the deal may be offset somewhat by a weakness in the Nvidia design: The GeForce Experience system requires a relatively recent GeForce video card, and PCs that lack the requisite hardware won't be able to take advantage of the streaming functionality. Having to purchase a new video card on top of the box, which hasn't yet been priced (or even confirmed), may well drive the total cost beyond practical reach.
Well, looks like I'm ok. Rest of you are on your own.

Know what happens when I come across a gaming platform that is either too expensive or too unwieldy to use? I don't use it and instead fire up League of Legends.

I'm almost thinking the PS was Sony's attempt to draw out MS's stupidity. Sony occasionally fucks up in PS-land because they genuinely never expected it to get this far and because they never thought MS would bet so heavily on a losing hand forever.

Because you can't make this shit up, Microsoft posted a job listing about PC Gaming, and PC Gamer shreds it.

"51% of all time spent gaming is on PCs - more than on consoles and mobile devices combined," states the listing. "PC gaming itself is projected to make $25 Billion in 2014, growing 13% year over year.
Have they read their own ad?
