    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.

          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.

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