Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Ashraf Eassa]

  Short term, Microsoft is right. Long term, not so much.
  There's nothing wrong with putting exclusives on your platform to exclude a direct competitor (for example, Sony's (NYSE: SNE  ) PlayStation platform), but Microsoft actually harmed its own Windows PC gaming install base to drive sales of its game consoles. From a short-term perspective, this makes financial sense; force people to buy your game consoles, and then get a cut of every copy of each game sold for your platform. It's much more directly lucrative than gaming on Windows at a glance.

  Moving along
  Mattrick's launch of the Xbox One was greeted with limited enthusiasm. Gamers were happy to see a new system, but many questioned the requirement for an Internet connection, the rigid new digital rights management rules, and the $499 price tag. Then, during June's E3 video game conference, Sony (NYSE: SNE  ) unveiled its PlayStation 4, and the world went mad.
