Office loses relevance:
The demand for Microsoft Corporation’s Office is at peak. Microsoft Office is designed to work on PCs. The sale of PCs declined as the market demand for this is replaced by i-phones and Smart Phones. At work also people prefers apple i-phone so a question raises why the market demands Microsoft’s Office .Though google is creating docs but still people at work uses excel.
Microsoft Corporation’s X-box was very popular among its user since last year. But can not help the company in meeting its requirement. X-box is an entertainment device and people use it for recreational use. Where as Iphone and Smart phones have there own uses in all the field. So Xbox can not compete with it in the market as the uses are different.
Microsoft suffers a huge quarterly loss:
Microsoft Corporation had to write down $6.2 billion as a loss caused by the acquisition of aQuantive, in 2012.
It has to suffer a quarterly lose due to that. Its share value declined too.
Conclusion:
Though Microsoft Corporation market is down today, by the alluring features of i-phone and smart phone. Microsoft Corporation is something which will never die. It is being used in work place and continued to be using. There are different Microsoft Corporation products which are compatible with Microsoft PCs only. Ms-Office and Lync are popularly used at work. People prefer excel to use rather than I-phone. So in short hopes for the survival of Microsoft Corporation can not be given up. Efforts should be met to bring it to a desired position. Finally it will make profit one day.
