Microsoft has been a leader in the gaming industry due to its timely new releases, exciting updates to hardware, and focused market targeting. Microsoft has always been a platform catering to hardcore and casual gamers alike, thus priding itself on its versatility and mass appeal. With a strong support of developers, Microsoft has managed to keep its products relevant as well as innovative. The connections that the company has maintained over the years, with first and third party developers, have allowed various lucrative lines of products to be published. As a result, Microsoft has established itself as a company capitalizing on quality gaming products. Microsoft has in its possession, several tried and true formulas, yet the company has not been one to shy away from unfamiliar markets. The company has extended its influence to the casual gaming market; and have even been so successful as to convince much of said market to switch from other platforms to theirs. As well, its leaders cleverly market their product and manage to constantly excite their consumer audience. I&#8217;m thoroughly impressed by Microsoft, and hope the best for their future.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Article of Interest:\u00a0<a title=\"Xbox 360 Sales Accelerating\" href=\"http:\/\/reviews.cnet.com\/8301-21539_7-20068641-10391702.html\">http:\/\/reviews.cnet.com\/8301-21539_7-20068641-10391702.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Image:<a title=\"Xbox 360\" href=\"http:\/\/reviews.cnet.com\/consoles\/microsoft-xbox-360-pro\/4505-10109_7-31355096.html\">http:\/\/reviews.cnet.com\/consoles\/microsoft-xbox-360-pro\/4505-10109_7-31355096.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Microsoft exemplifies entrepreneurship in the gaming industry.
