The shareholder catering will continue until morale improves
The quote is
I want XBOX to be one of the few companies that entertains more than a billion people each day and gives everyone the opportunity to create and connect
Are they moving into other forms of entertainment like web, or media?
Will it run edge?
Xbox already has Edge. Not terrible for quick couchsurfing honestly.
It’s not about Xbox the console, it’s about Xbox the company/service
…or porn?
Those are already on the Xbox. It is a full media player. My kids rarely play games. But they watch Netflix and YouTube for hours.
Microsoft axed their video and music streaming a while ago. I doubt they’ll try and revive it.
Netflix. YouTube, most any other app is available.
Yes, on their hardware and through their store fronts, but I meant their own streaming services (other than games streaming).
Heavy emphasis on the word “wants”.
I think this is (unfortunately) a Glass Cliff scenario:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_cliff
The glass cliff is a phenomenon… in which women are more likely to break the “glass ceiling” (i.e. achieve leadership roles in business and government) during periods of crisis or downturn when the risk of failure is highest.
Haslam has shown that women executives are likelier than men to accept glass cliff positions because they do not have access to the high-quality information and support that would ordinarily warn executives away.[17] Additional research has indicated that women and other minorities view risky job offers as the only chance they are likely to get.[7]
Microsoft put Sharma on a sinking ship. And she knows it.
I bet her thinking is “moonshot, or bust,” which would explain a lot of her public statements so far.
Growth while laying people off like stupid. How is that supposed to work?
Hire people to create the illusion of growth, fire them to create the illusion that you know what you’re doing. The cycle of life!
XBox CEO carries the same weight as McDonald’s Manager to me.
So 1/8 of every person on earth using an Xbox product every single day. That’s unimaginably ridiculous.
Did you miss the bit where she gestured expansively with her hands? No-one delusional would think to do that.
Everything with these fucking CEOs is about “a billion people” or “a billion dollars”.
All the AI companies claim a total addressable market of literally every person on the planet.
Seeing as the new XBox CEO used to head an AI company, I’m not surprised she still has a similar outlook
Shameless bullshitting got her where she is now, so obviously she’ll keep on doing it.
NVIDIA are trying to convince investors that AI agents will need computers to run on so that they can have more customers than there are people.
Can these people just drop dead
This is an absurd number.
I hate how people just say random stuff that they think sounds good and no one questions it anymore because it fulfils their financial fantasy.
And stocks go up on the BS and never crash because it was wrong.
I want a robot horse, like one of my He-Man action figures had. It had like a laser canon mounted on it’s butt.
Strider?
Strider?
I think so, yeah that’s old nueron firing back up.
He’s one of the rangers. Dangerous folk they are — wandering the wilds. What his right name is I’ve never heard, but around here, he’s known as Strider.
I was trying to compare this goal with the mobile gaming market, which is undeniably the biggest gaming market out there. Free Fire, a free mobile PUBG clone that became more popular than PUBG itself, had a peak of 150 million daily active players. This means you’d need at least to have the equivalent to 6.7 Free Fires running at the same time to even try to reach a peak of 1 billion daily active players (yes, I know, funny number). And Free Fire was one of those games that blew up like nothing else.
Well Asha, as income distribution goes to shit, good luck with your one billion number.
They’re targeting the upper part of the K
