1 Way Microsoft Could Beat Apple

The following video is part of our "Motley Fool Conversations" series, in which analyst Austin Smith discusses topics across the investing world.
When most investors ponder the future of the ever-connected living room, the usual candidates for success typically include Apple and Google. Noticeably missing from this list is Microsoft, the cheaply priced tech giant with deep pockets that often gets relegated to the boring category of "income-producing stocks." If you're trying to invest in a tech company for the future of home entertainment, though, it'd be a huge mistake to overlook this company. Despite lackluster performance in recent years, it has developed an incredible position, almost by accident, with the huge sales of its Microsoft Xbox 360 gaming console. The device is quickly becoming more of a media hub than many would have guessed, and the 60 million units sold could very easily give Microsoft the edge over Apple in this specific market.
