| Re: Good article on why Microsoft will fail Read that....the thing is they don't address that users will be able to connect via both Any ISP (like they can do now) and via the XBox live system. Essentially the service will be for "newbies", while experienced gamers can take the high road.
They also assume that "success" for Microsoft is dominating the console market. that's not their goal...their goal is to just sit and the table and etch out a place so they can eventually control the set top market down the line....It's pretty heavily argued that the Xbox was only approved as a valid trojan horse in order to tap into the inevitable trend in electronics wherein one box controls the cable, games, video recording, and more....
Microsoft is willing to lose billions to get there.
