Microsoft Corporation (MSFT): Why Everyone Will Still Buy the Xbox One

Google takes it up a notch

Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG) has picked up on the same trend with its exciting Google Glass project. The wearable computer allows users to integrate their online activities further into their everyday movements. With the built-in camera, users can share what they see with their friends online. Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG) Glass also combines driving navigation, text messaging, and Google search capabilities into one device.

Even more exciting, Google finished accepting public applications for Glass Explorers this week. Regular people (non-developers) are already getting to try out Glass!

Reading the trend

If mobile devices can do so much, then stationary home entertainment systems absolutely must be able to multi-task. Video-game consoles can no longer afford to be a one-trick pony. The success of Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT)’s Xbox One will depend primarily on its ability to seamlessly integrate video gaming with other home entertainment functions. I believe that Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) has correctly read the trends in digital technology.

So, come Christmas time, the wait will be over. You’ll finally be able to do three of life’s most important functions at the same time: watch TV, talk on the phone, and play video games. And that’s why everyone will buy the Xbox One.
