Activision's gaming portfolio coupled with Microsoft's technology expertise (Azure cloud platform, gaming infrastructure, HoloLens, and mixed reality devices, Microsoft Mesh) will emerge as a one-stop shop for all the key components (content, customer base, collaboration software, augmented reality and virtual reality hardware, and cloud infrastructure) required for the evolution of metaverse platforms.</p><p><blockquote>1月18日，企业巨头微软宣布计划收购领先的纯游戏视频游戏开发商<b>动视暴雪</b>（纳斯达克股票代码：ATVI）进行了一项价值 750 亿美元的全现金交易。这是微软历史上最大的一笔交易，预计将刺激其移动、桌面、游戏机和云游戏业务的增长。动视的游戏产品组合加上微软的技术专长（Azure云平台、游戏基础设施、HoloLens和混合现实设备、微软网格）将成为元宇宙平台发展所需的所有关键组件（内容、客户群、协作软件、增强现实和虚拟现实硬件以及云基础设施）的一站式商店。</blockquote></p><p>Bernstein analyst Mark Moerdler also believes that Microsoft is "best positioned to be a big winner from the metaverse."

The company has three major cloud-based offerings: Creative Cloud, Document Cloud, and Experience Cloud.</p><p><blockquote>Adobe Systems曾经主要因发明便携式文档格式（PDF）而闻名，现在是世界领先的软件即服务（SaaS）数字媒体播放器。该公司有三大基于云的产品：创意云、文档云和体验云。</blockquote></p><p>Creative Cloud involves several creator economy-focused software products such as Photoshop, Adobe Spark, Illustrator, Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe XD, and Adobe Substance 3D. Many of these software products have wide applications in the metaverse. Adobe Substance 3D reported a 100% year-over-year jump in revenue in the fourth quarter (ending Dec. 3, 2021), thanks to robust demand for creating 3D objects and from emerging metaverse platforms. Substance 3D is used for designing realistic 3D objects and for rendering and staging virtual scenes in a time and resource optimal manner. Adobe Aero is used by creators to develop immersive augmented reality experiences.</p><p><blockquote>Creative Cloud涉及几个专注于创作者经济的软件产品，如Photoshop、Adobe Spark、Illustrator、Adobe Premiere Pro、Adobe XD和Adobe Substance 3D。这些软件产品中有许多在元宇宙有广泛的应用。Adobe Substance 3D 报告称，由于对创建 3D 对象和新兴元宇宙平台的强劲需求，第四季度（截至 2021 年 12 月 3 日）收入同比增长 100%。Substance 3D用于设计逼真的3D对象，并以时间和资源最佳的方式渲染和上演虚拟场景。创作者使用Adobe Aero来开发身临其境的增强现实体验。</blockquote></p><p></p><p>Adobe is also launching a Photoshop feature called Content Credentials, which will help verify the credibility and authenticity of non-fungible token (NFT) art. Virtual goods need to have ownership and monetary value associated with them in the metaverse.

MicrosoftOn Jan. 18, enterprise giant Microsoft announced plans to acquire leading pure-play video game developer Activision Blizzard (NASDAQ:ATVI) in an all-cash $75 billion deal. This is the largest-ever deal in Microsoft's history and is expected to spur the growth of its mobile, desktop, console, and cloud gaming businesses. Activision's gaming portfolio coupled with Microsoft's technology expertise (Azure cloud platform, gaming infrastructure, HoloLens, and mixed reality devices, Microsoft Mesh) will emerge as a one-stop shop for all the key components (content, customer base, collaboration software, augmented reality and virtual reality hardware, and cloud infrastructure) required for the evolution of metaverse platforms.Bernstein analyst Mark Moerdler also believes that Microsoft is \"best positioned to be a big winner from the metaverse.\" The company is also focused on the enterprise use cases in the metaverse. To leverage this opportunity, it has introduced Microsoft Mesh for Teams, which enables remote virtual collaboration in an immersive mixed-reality environment between employees with the help of customized avatars.While the metaverse is a big future growth opportunity for Microsoft, the company'sintelligent cloudand business productivity tools are the major top-line drivers. Currently, Azure accounts for 21% of the global cloud infrastructure services market, behind Amazon's AWS (32% market share). However, Bessemer Venture Partners expects Azure to surpass AWS in market share in the next two years. Microsoft has also positioned itself as a developer-first company by acquiring GitHub, which can play a major role in boosting enterprise adoption of Azure.Analysts are now estimating Microsoft's revenue and earnings to grow year over year by 17.2% and 14.5%, respectively, in fiscal 2022. The company has a strong balance sheet, with a cash balance of $130.6 billion and debt of $78.9 billion.In the context of a strong existing business, robust financials, and the now-evolving metaverse opportunity, I consider Microsoft as a safe long-term pick for retail investors.2. Adobe SystemsOnce known mainly for inventing the portable document format (PDF), Adobe Systems is now a leading software-as-a-service (SaaS) digital media player in the world. The company has three major cloud-based offerings: Creative Cloud, Document Cloud, and Experience Cloud.Creative Cloud involves several creator economy-focused software products such as Photoshop, Adobe Spark, Illustrator, Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe XD, and Adobe Substance 3D. Many of these software products have wide applications in the metaverse. Adobe Substance 3D reported a 100% year-over-year jump in revenue in the fourth quarter (ending Dec. 3, 2021), thanks to robust demand for creating 3D objects and from emerging metaverse platforms. Substance 3D is used for designing realistic 3D objects and for rendering and staging virtual scenes in a time and resource optimal manner. Adobe Aero is used by creators to develop immersive augmented reality experiences.Adobe is also launching a Photoshop feature called Content Credentials, which will help verify the credibility and authenticity of non-fungible token (NFT) art. Virtual goods need to have ownership and monetary value associated with them in the metaverse. Hence, NFTs (digital certificates representing ownership of digital assets) will be used extensively for facilitating financial transactions in the metaverse. Content Credentials will help reduce the possibility of fraud and scams in the metaverse.Finally, these software tools are compatible with a range of operating systems. Against this backdrop,Jefferies tech analyst Brent Thill seems to be rightfully claiming that \"Adobe is the best software play for the metaverse -- its creative tools will enable the next generation of the internet.\"In fiscal 2021 (ending Dec. 3, 2021), Adobe's revenue was up by 23% year over year to $15.79 billion. Of this, over 92% was subscription-based recurring revenue. This highlights the company's high revenue visibility, a characteristic that usually results in premium valuations. The company generated over $7 billion in operating cash flows, making it well-positioned to invest capital in any future growth opportunities.Hence, considering Adobe's established leadership in enabling the development of creative content and its formidable financial position, the company is well-poised to be an attractive metaverse pick for the next decade.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"ADBE":0.9,"MSFT":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":4029,"commentLimit":10,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"symbols":[],"verified":2,"subType":0,"readableState":1,"langContent":"CN","currentLanguage":"CN","warmUpFlag":false,"orderFlag":false,"shareable":true,"causeOfNotShareable":"","featuresForAnalytics":[],"commentAndTweetFlag":false,"andRepostAutoSelectedFlag":false,"upFlag":false,"length":2,"subscribersOnly":false,"subscribersOnlyAccessible":false,"xxTargetLangEnum":"ZH_CN"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"isTiger":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"url":"/m/post/639872442"}
