Cower before the onset of “Cohesive Hybrid Compute”
As you’ve hopefully read elsewhere on here, there’s been an overnight windfall of insider info about Microsoft’s long-term gaming biz objectives, thanks to documents accidentally released by the US Federal Trading Commission during its court case against Microsoft’s Activision-Blizzard acquisition. We’ve learned thatMicrosoft are still rather keen on buying Nintendo (and Valve), and that the company hadplanned out the release of Dishonored 3, an Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion remaster and a Ghostwire: Tokyo sequelduring the run-up to its acquisition of ZeniMax.
“We are building 4 types of computers: (1) cloud everything, (2) a hybrid Xbox, (3) hybrid Windows, and (4) hybridHoloLens,” Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella writes in the leaked documents. “We need to bring the company’s systems talent together to align on a unified vision. We can’t go from big idea to big idea. We need a single big idea to rally the company around.”
Sooooo, what do we reckon then?
