Whenever I think about Microsoft, I think about how clever they are to jump into a market at just the precise time, after other companies have laid the groundwork and the industry is just starting to emerge. Think about the browser wars, about streaming media – and think about the video game industry, which is one of the fastest growing markets today.
Dean Takahaski took his knowledge as a business journalist for 14 years to chronicle his take on the Microsoft’s gamble with the Xbox. Takahaski is the author of “Opening the Xbox: Inside Microsoft’s Plan to Unleash an Entertainment Revolution.”
Not only is Takahaski a journalist and gaming - industry expert - he is a die-hard video gamer for life. He offered me his perspective on what the Xbox is doing for Microsoft.
