盖茨(Bill Gates)引争议 Xbox业务会从微软独立出去吗?

  近日,微软创始人、前CEO比尔·盖茨接受外媒采访的“若是微软CEO纳德拉提议剥离Xbox业务,那么他将支持,不过看起来纳德拉目前还没有这种想法”的言论再次引发了业内对于微软未来是否会剥离,甚至放弃Xbox业务的猜测。

  实际上早在鲍尔默执掌微软CEO期间,业内就曾多次呼吁其剥离Xbox和Bing业务,只是当时鲍尔默以一个Windows的战略解释了微软为何不能剥离或者放弃Xbox和Bing业务。

  那么在纳德拉接管微软CEO帅印且有盖茨力挺的今天,微软是否,或者是应该剥离,甚至放弃Xbox业务呢?

  业内知道,微软目前正在全力向消费者的所有显示屏扩展Windows平台,不管是台式机、笔记本、平板电脑、手机还是电视。微软的意图很简单,一组通用的应用接口(API)加上所谓“Shared Windows Core”的基本代码可以支撑所有的微软平台,例如Windows 8、Windows Phone 8和Xbox One。

  而随着传统PC市场衰退,微软正努力延伸Windows软件范围。而现在Xbox正成为该领域的核心业务,开发人员对此非常关注,而这正是微软需要迎合开发者的领域。其实微软想要打造一种独立的大平台,所有开发人员只要拥有共享代码都能够通过各种大小的屏幕触及消费者和企业。

  其次,由于Xbox One运行于Windows内核,这意味着,这个已经覆盖了手机、平板、笔记本、服务器的平台,现在也延伸到了Xbox上。对于开发者和微软来说,拥有一个统一的平台,在生态系统粘性上会是个很明显的优势,"跨平台"的开发也会变得更加容易。

  因为在所有产品和平台上,是同样的一个核心子组件。重要的是,这也符合纳德拉在之前微软Build2014中提出的Windows第一策略的原则。

  最后,Xbox对微软至关重要,是因为它拥有水平最高的开发者支持。Xbox订购营收系统也是核心业务之一,对Xbox全新的服务战略非常重要。

  关键是,Xbox还延伸了微软的业务范围,增加了家庭音乐及视频服务。如果微软想要剥离Xbox,那微软将会拱手将家庭市场让位给第三方。相对于小小的营收损失,究竟哪个划算,微软这笔帐应该心中相当有数。

  如果说上述是从微软自身战略发展角度来看待Xbox One对于微软重要性的话,那么从营收和竞争市场的角度,微软也应有足够的理由保留Xbox业务。

  微软最新的财报显示,消费类硬件和设备业务营收增长40.7%至19.7亿美元, Xbox One游戏机和Surface平板电脑拉动了该部门营收的增长。尽管毛利率下跌,但从营收增长的幅度看,Xbox业务并未像外界所形容的那般惨淡和没有竞争力。

  另外,尽管与对手索尼的PS4相比,Xbox One的销量处在下风,但在主机游戏市场,除了索尼之外,微软的对手要少得多,至少与目前微软苦战的智能手机和平板电脑市场相比。

  既然微软在对手如林的智能手机和平板电脑市场都舍得赔钱,甚至不惜放弃自己固有的商业模式(例如之前宣布的针对9寸以下微软移动设备取消Windows授权费),那么在营收依旧以较快速度增长的游戏主机市场又有何放弃的理由呢?

  其实Xbox业务的重要性,从对手的身上也得到了体现。当业内每每传出微软要剥离或者可能放弃Xbox业务时,索尼的股价都会上涨。可见,Xbox业务存在的市场价值。

  众所周知,自纳德拉任微软CEO之后,其先后推出了iPad版的Office,并且大胆放弃了之前微软一直沿袭的Windows授权商业模式(针对9寸以下微软移动设备),这些举措被外界认为是纳德拉具有转型思维的表现,并得到了业内的肯定。

  不过仔细看来,纳德拉的这些举措并未给微软的核心战略和业务造成实质性的影响,所以其得到盖茨的高度评价和信任也在情理之中。

  据此,我们再看盖茨近日所谓纳德拉提议剥离Xbox业务,那么他将支持的言论,更像是一种信任的表示,言外之意,纳德拉的任何举措都是理性和深思熟虑的,即便是最后做出剥离或者放弃Xbox业务的决定也是如此,至少在之前纳德拉会好好斟酌的。

《战争机器 | Gear of War》新作处于原型阶段或更注重趣味性

  XBOX One平台的《战争机器》新作将由Black Tusk工作室负责开发,而日前他们就透露了本作的一点新情报,不过看样子短期内玩家们很难看到这款新作,因为本作目前仍处于原型阶段。

  日前Black Tusk工作室的Rod Fergusson透露了这一情报,目前游戏的开发时间还不长,因此还处于开发的原型阶段,不过他还是展示了一张游戏的概念艺术图。此外他还透露了一些关于本作的想法,其中他提到该工作室会更加注重游戏的趣味性。



  “是的,我们将尽自己所能,我相信趣味比原来的准则更加重要。”不过他也表示,他并没有毁掉标准的意思,只是如果趣味或准则相冲突的话,他应该会更加重视趣味性。

  此前微软游戏工作室的Ken Lobb曾表示Black Tusk工作室将会为这款系列作带来革新,那么到底他们能为系列带来怎样的变化呢?就让我们拭目以待吧。

微软总裁辟谣 没有任何卖掉XBOX业务的计划

  日前,在美国加州举行的一次会议上,微软今天2月份才上任的新科CEO——Satya Nadella对之前传得沸沸扬扬的微软将要剥离并卖掉XBOX业务的传闻作出了回应,他称,公司现在没有任何把XBOX业务卖掉的计划。

  Nadella说:“我很赞同公司目前XBOX业务的发展方向,没有什么要改变的。”

  其实早在今年2月份Nadella上任的时候,他就告诉员工:“当人们取得伟大成功的时候,总是会渴望更大的成功。我们这个行业太喜新厌旧了。”言下之意是他不希望微软发展的太快,将已有的东西保护好、发展好才是关键。

Xbox Live Games with Gold for June Revealed
XBOX Live金会员6月免费游戏 多款名作登场




June Games with Gold: Five Great Games for Xbox One and Xbox 360

With June officially kicking off soon, Xbox Live Gold members are especially prosperous with a total of five free games on Xbox One and Xbox 360. As Head of Xbox Phil Spencer recently announced, June’s system update will debut Games with Gold on Xbox One, with two great games – “Max: The Curse of Brotherhood” and “Halo: Spartan Assault.” And on Xbox 360, members will receive “Dark Souls,” “Charlie Murder” and the bonus game “Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition.” No matter what, you're in for a good time so make sure you get in on the action!

  日前微软公司公开了6月专门针对XBOX Live金会员的“Games with Gold”的游戏名单,而本次所推出的游戏共有5款,其中包含XBOX 360和XBOX One平台的名作。拥有金会员资格的玩家有机会免费玩到这些作品,而具体游戏名单如下:

• Max: The Curse of Brotherhood (Xbox One, $14.99)



Coming in June (specific dates coming soon) is Press Play’s beautiful side-scrolling platformer Max: The Curse of Brotherhood. As Max, you’ll need to rescue your little brother from the clutches of a cartoonish villain named Mustacho. Along the way, you’ll solve challenging elemental puzzles and platform your way through the environment with the help of your trusty magic marker.

• Halo: Spartan Assault (Xbox One, $9.99)



Also available in June is Halo: Spartan Assault, a new chapter within the award-winning “Halo” universe set between “Halo 3” and “Halo 4.” Join Commander Sarah Palmer and Spartan Davis in training simulations aboard the UNSC Infinity to fight a campaign against Covenant forces, or join in online Co-op battle against the Flood.

• Dark Souls (Xbox 360, $19.99)



Available June 1-15, Dark Souls, is perhaps most famous for its difficulty, but it is also, without question, among the greatest and most awe-inspiring games of its generation. Elegant in design, challenging in presentation and more than a little mysterious, "Dark Souls" will take you on a tour de force of what action-role-playing can (and should) be about. If you ever wanted to jump into one of this generation's most beloved franchises, now's the perfect time.

• Charlie Murder (Xbox 360, $9.999)



Available June 16-30, we have Charlie Murder, a classic, side-scrolling beat-'em-up in which you take on the role of the title character or one of his stalwart band mates, as they try to save the world from an impending zombie apocalypse. And yes, they will also rock out quite a bit at the same time. A cartoon-like aesthetic, non-stop action and a dash of dark humor combine to make "Charlie Murder" fun for solo or up to four-player cooperative head-bashing.

• Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition (Xbox 360, $29.99)



Finally, we've got the one-year Games with Gold anniversary bonus – Capcom’s celebrated one-on-one fighting game Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition, available June 16-30. Yes, it’s “Street Fighter” and chances are you’ve probably played it, in some form or another, at least once in your life. And if not, you’re missing out on perhaps the most well-known and tightly balanced fighting game franchise ever made. This upgrade to the original “Street Fighter IV” brings the playable roster up to a whopping 39 characters, and features a decked-out online tournament mode, a team battle mode for up to eight players, and the option to save and share replays of your best (or worst) matches.
