GameStop Corp. (GME), Microsoft Corporation (MSFT): How Will Cloud Gaming Impact the Market?

Samsung: Emerging a Winner

As video game console manufacturers continue to ignore the trend toward cloud computing, Samsung may sneak in behind Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT), Sony, and Nintendo to move gaming from consoles to TVs. Of course, Microsoft and Sony will likely respond by coming up with their own built-for-cloud-gaming TV sets. But, in the world of technology, being an innovator always gives a company an edge and in the world of gaming, Samsung appears to be emerging a clear winner. With profits up an astounding 42% in its most recent quarter, Samsung is quickly proving it can tackle TVs, phones, tablets, and anything else the consumer market wants. Putting a sizable dent in Microsoft’s and Sony’s gaming market will give investors even more reason to turn their attentions from traditional gaming giants to Samsung.
