Out of the Gate: Microsoft Rises

AP reports via CNN Money:

Microsoft (MSFT) shares rose Tuesday after Goldman Sachs analyst Sarah Friar added Microsoft to Goldman Sachs' "Conviction Buy List" of recommended stocks on expectations that first-quarter sales should boost share price. Friar forecasts Microsoft's revenues for the first quarter to grow on strong sales of Halo 3, Office 2007 and Windows Server 2008, among others.

Despite Microsoft's historical success with Windows, risks to its future growth include Google and Yahoo in the online sphere and Sony and Nintendo in the gaming market. Open-source software may also erode future growth, Friar said.

"Microsoft stands at a major juncture in its life cycle, with near-term product cycles balanced out by longer-term uncertainties, as new areas such as software-as-a-service, virtualization and open source seek to diminish Microsoft's grip on the desktop," Friar said in a note to clients.

Infinite is a dumpster fire and as much as I like ODST, in no universe it ranks above Halo 2. This list is trash.

Kaii538d ago

Just exclude Infinite>5>4

ChasterMies538d ago

Best to worst: Halo 3, Halo 2, Halo Reach, Halo CE, Halo 4, Halo ODST, Halo Infinite, Halo 5.

The 7 Best Xbox 360 Games - Console Exclusives Win the Day

The Xbox 360 was a fantastic console in its day with some truly classic titles, but what are the seven best games for the console?

DrDoomer575d ago

I'm pretty used to these lists being bad, but this one is particularly s#ite.

raWfodog575d ago

I think Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon should have been added to the list.

BrainSyphoned575d ago

I'll go with,
Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Culdcept Saga, Shadow Complex, Ace Combat 6 with the flight stick,A Kingdom for Keflings, A World of Keflings.
Bonus Kinect Games: Happy Action Theater and Sesame Street.
*Skyrim was so bad on PS3 that it almost deserves to be #1*

Husker42c575d ago

I really loved Shadow Complex.

P_Bomb575d ago

Ah yes, Shadow Complex! Good indies back in the day. Summer of Arcade. I enjoyed Trials Evolution as well.

ChasterMies575d ago (Edited 575d ago )

Was this made by a.i.? No human being would put Shadowrun, Fable III, and Splinter Cell: Conviction into a list of the 7 best Xbox 360 games.

Abnor_Mal575d ago (Edited 575d ago )

Would love to play Ace Combat6 on PlayStation, but Xbox decided to buy exclusivity and keep it off a competing platform.

The only mainline game I never played except for one level at a friends place. Game sold less than any other in the series if I remember correctly.

darthv72574d ago

360 had Namco hitters AC6 and RR6... both quality titles. You should at least bust out the 360 for AC6 if you can score the flight stick. Its great.

Hofstaderman575d ago

When the current gen XBOX offering is so lacking people need to refer to games released two generations back....

Profchaos574d ago (Edited 574d ago )

It's a nostalgia peice same reason we get thousands of YouTube videos on sega genisis. Something people have fond memories for but the era is long gone.

It's xboxs golden year imo it was their genisis years the time where they stuck it to the market leaders Sony.

BehindTheRows574d ago

They stuck nothing. Sony screwed themselves giving Xbox an opening. They would have gotten the usual smack down if the PS3 had launched at $399 and was easier to develop for.
