hmm...I dunno how a cloud streaming device could be touted as the "largest technical leap," but I'm also not that knowledgeable on how raw power works either.

That's likely referring to the actual Xbox successor. I don't see a handheld being Microsofts primary device. Unlike Nintendo, they don't have the exclusive IP to sell it.

ohhhhhh I see. you're right, they're probably touting the next Xbox overall. here is to hoping they come up with a better name. I did not like ANY of their naming conventions after Xbox 360.

I don't know why Sony is causing trouble with the Activision merger, when they are doing the same thing that they are arguing about by keeping their titles exclusive to their consoles.

They are not doing the same thing. Not even close. Sony has always had exclusive games, Nintendo has always had exclusive games, and Microsoft has always had exclusive games.

And Sony has never tried to acquire a predominantly third party publisher of video games, and that's exactly what Microsoft got away with.

I do not agree with this, like, at all.

Some of his points don't make sense. Like Nintendo doing theme parks and movies means they're branching out of the console space... It's not the same as MS going multi-plat.

Though, I do reckon the current video game landscape is changing (or about to).

I just think all games that start with "X" in the title should be exclusive to Xbox ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So while they are making money thanks to buying Activision, they are losing money on hardware. Gotta say I'm very surprised that the interest in Xbox is so low considering everything they got.

Microsoft’s Surface and Xbox hardware revenues take a big hit in Q3

Cloud and Office are the big revenue drivers again.
