Det verkar väl tämligen uppenbart för de flesta att Microsoft bestämt sig för att satsa fullt ut på gaming, och Microsofts högste chef Satya Nadella pratade nyligen om detta under ett möte med sina aktieägare (transkriberat av Seeking Alpha). Han tillfrågades hur Microsoft kommer säkerställa att Xbox står sig mot Playstation, och svarade såhär:
"First thing, we're very excited about the new console launches in the market. We always have sort of focused on ensuring that our gamer community that counts on us to produce the best consoles has a new generation of consoles, which are powerful and really great for gameplay. And we are supporting it with the best content with the best community.
But the broader vision we have is to ensure that the three billion gamers out there are able to play their games, anywhere they want with all the content they want and with whom they want to. And that's really what we are building our strategy around."
Nadella fortsatte med att berätta om hur de blir allt mer kraftfulla tack vare uppköp och utbyggnad av Xbox Game Pass, och förklarar att Microsoft verkligen, verkligen är fokuserade:
"You've seen us double our content portfolio with ZeniMax acquisition, you see us make advances in our community efforts and our subscription offers with Game Pass. And that's what you can expect from us.
We are absolutely very, very much focused on gaming, and ensuring that all the three billion gamers around the world get the best content, best community and the best cloud services to power their gaming experiences going forward."
Det verkar därmed som att vi kan få se ett mer aggressivt Microsoft framledes, eftersom de alltså säger till sina ägare att de är "absolutely very, very much focused on gaming".
