Comment on Microsoft’s best hope after Ballmer? A break upparent

Comments

I guess if you consider 2010 "a while". That is when Microsoft released the Kinect.

Microsoft bought the Kinect teck from PrimeSense to prop up there XBox division which has yet to outpreform a simple stock buyback and is this a failure. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PrimeSense

And the Xbox itself before that.

Xbox is brought up a lot in these threads although it has been a total business failure. Even after losing billions over many quarters, making a quarterly profit only recently, it's still in a virtual 3-way tie for the tiny gaming console market.

And it took how long to get this far? Console gaming is a tough industry to be in.
