Sure they do. All companies care about their customers, even if it's not exactly the kind of care that you want.

Oh and if a company can, they will screw you for their own benefit. That goes for many regular folks as well.

Filthybastrd
does this apply to the government as well ? I"m just curious. Anyway I don't think microsoft cares about us any less than any other companies. They just have different strategies in satisfying their customers.

You probably think Nintendo or Sony cares about you. :roll:

tagyhag

Oh, don't they!? :P I mean like, they make games and such! And not just shooters since those aren't games!11!1!

They like, make games with the color green, and purple, and red in them :)

It's all an illusion man! :x

You don't know it, but they secretly kidnap little children and make them test their new games over and over again!

I heard they made a toddler jump in place 15,000 times to see if it'd bug out in Halo 3!!!


A TODDLER!!!!!!!!:cry:

I also have to wonder what kind of training will they use the 360 for. I imagine they might be able to use the controller for training with the tinier UAVs or something which have regular R/C controllers. But why bother with a full 360 system when the controller itself works fine with a Windows PC?

No, just like every other business. No matter what YOU would like to think, Sony doesn't give a rat's *** about you, only the money you spend on their products. Seriously sometimes it wouldn't hurt to use common senseFunconsole
On the flip side its not like they hate you. Just people making a living, doing business, getting rich :P Does Sony or MS come up to you and start making fun of you or something? And on a nonpersonal level, companies do care about their customers cause like......thats how they make money duh.

I hope you dun think that Sony cares about us, it's business, MS release few games and market the hell out of them, Sony act in a different way, I have to admit, I like Sony's ways much better, it's good to stick with it.

I can't believe how ridiculously naive some people are here. I'll tell you what, get a job in any major corporation and then come back in here and complain about Microsoft. No corporation cares about you. What they do care about is if you like their products. Why? Because then, they can make money off you.

That's it. Sony doesn't care about you neither does Nintendo, what they care about is your money going into their pockets. Some of you guys really need to go out and work in the real world. Your perceptions on business should not be shaped by what you read in system wars fanboy threads.

I believe they care about me as much as sony and nintendo... if you think massive businesses like that think of you as anything other than a number or a dollar sign you've drank way too much of their cool aid and need to be put down like a lame horse.

You'd have to be incredibly naive to believe any global cooperation would care about you unless you were a multi billion dollar investor

Corporations believe in good public relations with the customers, because having a good image helps the company sell more merchandising. Would any company want people to believe that they're getting raw materials from developing countries paying people there a penny a day with barely any rights mining the hardware for the 360? PR is developed to help the company's bottom line, and that's what stockholders want.

Well, MS has given me the features I want for 2 generations now, and Sony hasn't for 3, so I guess they do.

Edit: Sony actually did with the PS1, my favorite system of theirs so far.

With a price increase and refusing to sell their consoles to the military, do you, as a consumerist and a supporter for Microsoft, actually believe they care about you? Please list/state your reason(s). PS3 owners surely have reasons to know sony cares about them: free online, a new rewards program, free DLC (im sure Microsoft might have that too). So does M$ care about you? Probably not, but I would love to hear your justifications

suitmypants

Do you actually believe Sony cares about you? Free online is a selling point for their system, they didn't do it just for you. PSN is free because they can't justify charching people for it since it's an inferior service. All I can do is laugh at people like you. It's almost sad that people can be this naive and ignorant. The public education system has failed.

I liked the PS1 and 2. They provided what I needed. The first Xbox took it further. God, you don't know how glad I was to not have to get memory cards.

All I wanted from the PS2 was built in memory and 4 controller ports. It really wasn't that hard to do if they weren't too busy selling their peripherals to everyone. Something that people seem think Microsoft thought up all by themselves.

I agree, it just seems that some act as though last gen didn't exist, except when discussing the PS2's continued success.

Opinions may vary but in my personal gaming experience, reality of things and educated opinion, there's this unspoken loyalty when you become an owner of any Microsoft product. Microsoft silently becomes loyal to you, always having thoughts about you and have you in their prayers. This bond is very special and is very difficult to pin point the exact words to describe the love Microsoft has for you. It's like you are Frodo and Microsoft is Sam and they will be by your side in any situation, from dark times on volcanic crumbling mountains, to happier days in the fields of the Shire. Microsoft will be there. Thank you Microsoft you did your magic again, you are magical in my personal educated reality of opinions. Jump in and Kinect.reanimatedchamp

They care about their image and if enough people think their product sucks they change it. So they care about our opinion but nothing personal.

Of course Microsoft cares about you, they love you, they love you so much that after they pay $70 for online access, you get 39 cents as a thank you for choosing Microsoft, so in fact in the end its totally worth it, because you don't just get the privelege of being ripped off by Microsoft, but you get to have a nice smile across your face and that warm feeling inside knowing that you oh so dearly payed $70 to the Microsoft Foundation and from that you only lost a total of $69.61. This holiday season you get to know that Microsoft loves you, and that your money is being resourcefully used and is being used to benefit yourself and the community as a whole. Forget that the competition gets what you get for free, you get something they will never get: the honor of having better advertisements and commercials, all thanks to the new $10 price raise. I hope you're proud to be an Xboxican, and a proud contributer to those Kinect commercials. The world wouldn't be the same without you.

Ya, completely owned. I'm glad I have a PS3 so I can get free games wih PSN+. Sony is a charity that helps special needs people like me get free games.

If Sony cared about me they'd make cute, and colorful games that are fun.

And no, I do not find LBP, or Ratchet and Clank to be very good, so they obviously don't care enough. :P

I like Rayman 2!


Actually, no wait. I think I'm confused with Jak & Daxter.

I never cared for that game either, but Sly Cooper I probably played 10 minutes of, and got bored :P So I'm probably not a good judge of that game :)
