Do we need Microsoft in the video game industry?

I think they'll hurt it more than do good.
Pushing advertisements.
Shoddy hardware quality and refusing free repairs.
First party peripherals with inflated pricing.
Pay to play online leads to most expensive console, suddenly no big deal?
Heavy influence on american media.
Delaying content of competitors instead of doing something creative with their time.
Transferred all risks of game development to developer.

If it wasn't for MS I wouldn't be doing very much gaming, as far as games I want to play Sony really dropped the ball with the PS3. My original fat upgraded 20 GB PS3 is still waiting.

i think everybody agrees with me when i say noPressXtoJump

MS kicked sonys ass this gen.

Do we need Microsoft in the video game industry in order for the industry to advance and not become stagnant?

Personally, i feel Sony and Nintendo are enough.

What do you think?

Only people who can't appreciate good art speedrun journey but you're a Lem so you probably suffer from ADHD and your brain is unable to appreciate finest things like that game. So you focus on mindless shooting. Halol lasts 4 hours. $60 / 4 = $15 that means you paid $15 for each hour of an inferior game to journey which means it's less value for your money. Lol lems and their low standards.kuraimen

So I'm a lem with ADHD because I don't think Journey is TEH BEZT GAMERZZ EVAR and I don't want to ride Sony's d!ck like you do even though you don't own any of their systems or any of their products. Let's also not forget that Journey has forced co-op as well, resulting into me being rushed with the game and ending it in 79 minutes. The only way the game can last any longer is if your co-op partner that you're forced to pair up with wants to find the easter eggs in the game. The only way to not get co-op is to disconnect your PS3 from the internet manually. I should know this because unlike you, I have a PS3 and I have played Journey multiple times.
