The Future of Microsoft's Xbox

The Future of Microsoft's Xbox 06/08/2004 10:40 AM
To the gaming community, the Microsoft Xbox console has a lot to offer and promises even more in the future. But the company has not been able to get worldwide sales, especially Japanese sales, to the levels it hoped for. Depending on whose report you read, the Sony PlayStation is outselling the Xbox at a 4 to 1 pace, and that's an optimistic ratio. The Xbox has become the number-two platform in the USA, ahead of the Nintendo GameCube, but it still has not been popular enough to become a profit center for Microsoft. All this has recently been compounded by Microsoft's decision to cancel or delay the release of its online game True Fantasy Live Online.

Microsoft says recent Xbox 2 rumors are simply speculation at this point. You may have read yesterday that a story originating on gamesindustry.biz claimed the next Xbox would not feature backwards compatibility due to the increased and varied technology of the latest system from Microsoft. Well, the boys from Redmond apparently aren't too happy about the initial claims and subsequent media barrage that has swirled all over the net in the past 24 hours.

Microsoft's Future, from a Former

Microsoft's Future, from a Former
insider 06/03/2004 12:13 PM

Jeff Reifman: Microsoft's Sacred Cash Cow. This made me wonder about Microsoft’s willingness to innovate and compete. Why are Microsoft products still so difficult to use and so unreliable? Why is the company improving them so slowly? Is Microsoft losing its competitive edge? Has the company seen its best days?

This is an interesting contribution to the literature of ex-Microsoft folks. It's thoughtful, though I don't think the writer appreciates what $56 billion in cash, a powerful monopoly and the willingness to do anything to preserve the monopoly can mean in the future. I believe we've not seen the height of Microsoft's powers. Through threats and willing helpers or possibly outright proxies, it's already aiming "intellectual property" laws against open-source software. And it has made no bones about further such plans. Microsoft also does improve products when it has competition, such as in the smart-phone and handheld arenas where its operating system entries are getting much better. The people in charge at Microsoft may be ethics-challenged, but a lot of smart and basically honorable people work for them, wanting to do the right thing themselves. They often do.

See also Dave Stutz' valuable essay, "Advice to Microsoft regarding commodity software" -- another hard look from an well-clued insider who left.
