Microsoft has made a name in the gaming industry through the production of the Xbox 720. It strengthens its hold on the gaming console industry through the development of Xbox 360 in the year 2005. Since then Microsoft has faced stiff opposition from Sony a rival company that is based in Japan. Microsoft was determined to hold on its domination of the industry through the development of Xbox 720. When Microsoft went into the laboratory for the new gaming console, Sony also did the same.
Since then both Sony and Microsoft have been delaying the release of their products. Analysts believe that there is a hide and seek game between the two companies and that it was the competition to overtake the other in the industry that is delaying the release of the product from both companies. For Microsoft it could be said that it is battling for Xbox 720 before it is actually released.
I think that what they are doing is to position the product before it is actually released. The Microsoft want to make sure the stage is clearly set before the product hits the market. We believe that what they are doing is to arouse the consciousness of the users so that anytime it hits the market the world will queue up behind it. The strategy the company may be using is to make the product to reflect the current realities in the gaming industry. It has thoroughly researched the market and I believe they also researched the market to predetermine what the users need and tailor their products to meet the need of the users.
The only strategy that could make Microsoft to win the battle for Xbox 720 is to make it according to the wishes of the users. The thing they should consider is to review their earlier products which were accepted by the people and find out the areas that need improvement and reflect such improvement in the new product. They should not even stop at that they should go further to have a look at the product of their closet rivalry and determine the things they have right in their product which do not have in their own and come out with a very unique product that will stand the test of time. The company has actually made a name through its earlier products and we expect that the current product will add to the name and prestige of the company.
