WSJ Your Money Briefing · E3: Microsoft's Focus on Xbox Games Over Console Price · 13 Jun 2018
podcast
It's not going to go away and they're going to need to continue to sell consoles because as long as video games remain, you know, a big share of video games are in the console market, they'll have to play there.
matched
But for, you know, for a lot of, for several years, the criticism on Microsoft is that video games were kind of a loss for them because they were, they would take a loss on the consoles early on.
matched
They've come away from that now, and as they've built up more revenue streams in gaming, it's become actually a pretty profitable business for them.

Your Money Briefing
matched
Yeah, and we're seeing the early stages of this.
matched
I mean, we've seen this already.
matched
Xbox Live is a very popular service.
matched
It's been around a long time, and it now has about 59 million regular users.
matched
It's been a great revenue stream for Microsoft.
matched
Electronic Arts currently has subscription services called EA Origin is one of them.
matched
One thing they said, though, in their earnings call this week is that they were going to
matched
be bringing out a new service that they didn't really share a lot of details, but what they hinted is that this was going to be essentially a cloud gaming service, which means gamers, instead of most gaming services, you still download a game and play it on your console if you're not putting a disc in the console.
matched
Cloud gaming is where you're playing the game as a stream, and it sort of, you know, this has been explored for a long time in gaming, but it's never really been widely implemented yet, but it looks like
matched
you know, that EA might be considering something like that.
matched
Possibly.
matched
I mean, they haven't said that's when they're going to detail, but that's typically when they and the other gaming companies, you know, preview the big games coming out in the later half of the year, as well as new services.
matched
So,
matched
I think that we might hear more about that then if they want to give it.
matched
And that's a conference where if you want to give something a big splash in front of the gaming community, that's a place to do it.
matched
Yeah, and it's a good deal for them.
