Can Microsoft Save the Video Game Industry?

Here's hoping they don't. I don't think I want the video games industry to be what the author of that piece does.

Its interesting that perceptions differ depending on where in the industry you are speaking from.

nope, it can save the cable industry though

From what? The Germans?

It doesn't need saving

Microsoft can certainly save my wallet the anguish of purchasing their next machine.

Of course they will, 16GB DDR3.

Sad to see people saying, "the industry needs saving?" While you've been under rocks the industry has been sinking. I'm seriously worried that we may not have a games industry for long if this next generation give a big jolt. But no body knows what can save the industry right now.

Who said it needed saving? I just hope SONY can save the gaming industry from the Cablebox720

If the industry ever needs saving I wouldnt be looking to MS.. that is, unless we were asking them to fund talented devs.

MS have done nothing but damage the game industry, a long history of killing off dev houses, pay to play online and day 1 dlc is all awful for gamers.

The Gaming Industry is doing great, dont think its need saving !!

M$ is killing the industry, not saving it.

Rather console gaming die than be dominated by Microsoft.
