Xbox 的游戏机定位于微软战略客厅战略是优势还是包袱?

如果只是作为游戏机，那么对微软而言并没有太大意义，Xbox 面世就是为了客厅娱乐，但是这么多年过去了，Xbox 也仅仅是跟 PS 相当或者更不如的家用游戏机而已。售价更贵，更不要说和市场上琳琅满目的流媒体机顶盒相比。恐怕如果不是为了游戏没人会买 Xbox One（但又有多少需要家庭客厅娱乐的人真正需要一个 hardcore 游戏主机？），所以 Xbox 是不是背离初心？为什么又值得微软继续支撑？>Here’s the bigger problem though: even if the Xbox One worked perfectly as an entertainment center, it would still cost $499. For those not good at math, that’s $400 more than an AppleTV, and completely unapproachable for anyone who does not care about gaming. In short, it is not enough to consider how the Xbox is doing relative to consoles;the Xbox must be evaluated based on how it is aligning with and contributing toMicrosoft’s overall strategy, and in that light, it is an unmitigated disaster.Source: It's Time to Kill Surface 收起
