Advisors' Opinion:- [By Philip Saglimbeni]
The good news for Microsoft is that consumers are a fickle bunch and can be swayed rather quickly. The upcoming E3 conference in June is a perfect time for Microsoft to announce a barrage of new games for Xbox One and to provide potential customers with a better understanding of what they can expect at launch for the new system. With Nintendo Co. Ltd. (NTDOY.PK) having backed out of the premiere game conference, it will be Microsoft and Sony facing off directly. In an atmosphere filled with nothing but gamers, big expectations and the potential for even bigger headlines, it won't be much of a competition unless Microsoft chooses to battle Sony in the actual video game department. I expect Microsoft will soon come out swinging with popular blockbuster series announcements but as of right now the console is not effectively convincing the gaming masses and is losing valuable time in its increasingly short release window. Microsoft, you're on notice, put your game face on!

Can Sprint Nextel (NYSE: S ) really break the duopoly that Verizon (NYSE: VZ ) Wireless and AT&T (NYSE: T ) have developed? I have my doubts. - [By Evan Niu, CFA]

That's an incremental negative for�Apple� (NASDAQ: AAPL ) , since the company still relies heavily on subsidies to boost iPhone prices, but not as bad as if�AT&T� (NYSE: T ) had made the move (it sells more iPhones).
