企業も個人もやりたいこと山ほどあるですね。でもどうな大きな企業になって、どうなできる人であってもリソースは限られてるもんだ。正道は必須のリソースを確保する上でミッションを選べることなんでしょう。
下記のは「マイクロソフトはXbox Portableを計画中か」の質問について、Xbox担当VPのPerter Moore氏の回答。
We need to be very focused on what we do. I think one of Sony’s challenges right now is they’re fighting battles on many fronts, whether it’s Blu-ray, whether it’s Cell technology, whether it’s PSP vs. DS, whether it’s PS3 vs. Xbox 360. They missed the music business; Apple’s taken that away. They’ve had a tough time with the flat screen TV business; Samsung, Panasonic, JVC, you name ‘em, have really stolen market share. And it’s tough. You’ve got to stay focused and you’ve got to put your money where you need it to be to be successful. Coming out with a handheld they spent a lot of money.
And if you’ve got hundreds of millions to spend, do you pound it behind Xbox 360 or do you go off and create another device? I know the answer to that one! I mean, you’d never forgive yourself if you went off and created a handheld device and took resources away, physical, human, and financial resources away from 360 and somehow didn’t develop its full potential because you didn’t have the right people, the right money, the right marketing, the right games on it. It’s a question of focus.
