Hate to break it to you but Xbox is pretty much the bottom rung of Microsoft in terms of profit, and Xbox management and leadership are incompetent - hence why it’s being more and more taken over by the Windows team.
Windows is also tiny. Azure and office/365 are the big money makers.

A good developer learns the tools that are available and uses them appropriately. A bad developer refuses to learn new tools and will be replaced by someone who already did.
And as per usual, those hating AI the most are the ones who don’t use it, don’t understand it, and/or hate it out of some misguided ideology.
Imitative is fine, great even in software development. You don’t need to reinvent the wheel. Programming languages/class libraries/etc all exist to give standard and functioning ways to do things the way they’re supposed to be done.
It’s funny that developers the world over absolutely loved and embraced tools like resharper, which was basically AI 0.5 for devs, yet now when AI is the evolution of that, everyone’s losing their mind.
Knowledge of AI tools absolutely will and should be a part of developer competencies that are evaluated during interviews in the near future, and that includes being able to explain why and when you would/would not use specific AI tools.
Lead and senior dev/architect here - not forced to use AI, but I spend my PD (personal development) days and hackathons trying out all new things, as every good dev does, and anyone not trying out all the new AI tools is doing themselves a disservice. You will find out which ones are “AI slop”, which are just fancy stored procs or web apps, and which are actually useful for you and/or your job.
I agree that workplaces shouldn’t be mandating the use of AI, but that’s very rarely the case.
My team and I have implemented Agentic AI into the business in ways that will save literally thousands of man-hours a year, as well as drastically reduce support tickets, and give non-devs extremely powerful insights into real time analytics that they’ve never been able to have even with PowerBi/Kibana/AppInsights/etc.
The software engineer acknowledged that AI tools can help improve productivity if used properly, but for programmers with relatively limited experience, he feels the harm is greater than the benefit.
So it’s just like every other tool out there for developers and most other professions.
Honestly it’s getting to be like people blaming stackexchange for their code being shit and not working when all they did was copy/paste a solution from there.
“A poor tradesman blames his tools” as they say.
It doesn’t have to be reasonable, it just has to be what the stock market values it at. That’s how valuations work.
Ok I see the problem - you don’t understand the comparison. I’m not comparing teslas to Lamborghinis.
I’m not using the stock market to act like teslas are the gold standard either.
You’ve basically not understood a thing I’ve said, despite me using the most basic, as old as time comparison tools and logic.
If Sony unveiled the PS6 and it was as powerful as the PS2, would you argue that it’s not underpowered?
AEMO and the power companies will make sure of it. People without batteries will pay absurd amounts for power, and those with batteries will pay slightly less than absurd prices.
lol absolutely zero chance of that ever even being a possibility.
