From Gaming Target: "The average family isn't ready to eliminate cable television, despite the advancements of streaming devices including Xbox 360. Boston-based advertising agency Hill Holiday gave five local families new hardware, Xbox 360, Apple TV, Google TV, Boxee Box and Netflix's Roku player, replacing their existing cable boxes with the new technology. The result? Confusion, frustration and a desire for costly cable television."
Microsoft's Activision subsidiary announced today that it is opening a new game development studio to take advantage of the huge talent pool growing in Poland. It'll be the second Activision studio based in the region, joining Infinity Ward Krakow, although this studio is, in fact, not working on Call of Duty.
Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation, and it all revolves around Satya Nadella and CFO Amy Hood's plans to increase every department's margins.
"The plan to move Xbox games to other platforms is codenamed "Latitude" internally, and I know there's debate and unease at Microsoft about whether or not this is a good idea. More upcoming Microsoft-owned games slated for PlayStation are already being developed. At least for now, they're potentially obvious games you'd most likely expect. And yes, while it's true Microsoft is a prolific publisher on PlayStation already, it has typically revolved around specific franchises like Minecraft. From what I've heard, Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation, and it all revolves around Satya Nadella and CFO Amy Hood's mandate to increase every department's margins.

Yeah, they are going to kill Xbox hardware.
i think it will kill off the xbox brand. windows will be fine.
but there is and would be a chance that xbox might be killed off in the future. if they fail to make the money they put in. imo.

Forza and Starfield next?
In the words of Phil Spencer when he was talking about Nintendo last year
“It's just taking a long time for Microsoft to see that their future exists off of their own hardware"
With Arkane Austin no more and Lyon living for who knows how long, the superb Dishonored is in serious danger; Microsoft cannot be trusted.
I love the Dishonored series so much and really want Dishonored 3. Microsoft better not screw this up.
I mean, I think the fans will probably kill Arkane Lyon by cooking up reasons to hate whatever they do next without playing it. I've never seen a game so artificially disliked as Deathloop.
Lol, why don't we just say, we are worried about all studios owned by MS now. They will keep closing studios until they have none left ...🙄
I think it's becoming clear based on matt bootys comments there's no future for any IP that can't sell above 10 million within the launch window. But is also a small game that gives them prestige
/S it's beyond a joke right now
Great article as I'm looking to ditch cable. If I could legally get all my favorite TV channels through the Internet for a decent price I would ditch cable but so far we are still a ways from that as the revenue for Networks to branch out to Internet Tv is not quite there yet.
On another note, these people are just Technically challenged. I got a HTPC (Home Theater Personnel Computer) hooked up to the Bravia that I control with a remote. couldn't be any easier to watch any movie any time i want or record anything to a 1TB HDD.
Cable is long gone for me. I only had cable over the past 5 or 6 years for World Cup 2010. Its a waste of money when you watch only a few channels and the internet offers many things for free.
if i had all those i would cut of cable in a heartbeat
"I typed in 'Dora' and it came back with 'Dora the Murder', which is inappropriate. It was all these weird YouTube clips."
I laughed pretty hard.
