Xbox should go and portable/handheld.
Why? They have no appeal in that sector, and would get steamrolled by Nintendo and probably even Valve.
IMO, if they do any market shift, it should be towards PC. As in, reform Xbox as a Windows-gaming NUC mini-PC brand handled under the Surface division.
Imagine the cool form factor devices they could come up with for PC gaming if they did this. And PC gaming is MS's real gaming roots, anyway.
Era user said some acquisitions by MS fell through because of this blocking.
So the industry dodged a bullet because UK stood up against shitsoft.
That is amazing, I didn’t see that coming.
What other acquisitions did Microsoft have lined up? I'm curious on this, because they probably have had other ones in the works.
Shudder to think if they were also gaming-related and on any other publishers. If so, then yes it's a good thing the ABK deal is getting blocked by critical regulatory bodies. Just as if to think even having ABK in addition to everything else wouldn't somehow be enough to "compete".
