Microsoft, for some reason, feels that they need this to compete with Sony.  Microsoft isn't scared of Nintendo.  Microsoft knows it has its exclusives that won't EVER go to a Nintendo platform.  Microsoft though has been scared of Sony for awhile now.  E3 sealing the GTAIV deal...going multiplat on day one of release. 

I'm sure Microsoft gave tons of money to RockStar to insure this.  Microsoft knew how big a GTA title has been in the past with Sony platforms.  I think Microsoft is REALLY PUSHING devs to insure Halo 3 comes out this year.  They want that title to help boost sales for the holiday season.  Why?  Because they are scared that if Halo 3 doesn't release, Sony will have the bigger holiday.   

Xbox 360 Elite?  Microsoft felt it needed yet another incarnation of the 360 to compete with PS3.  PS3 after all has already sold the same number of units in the same period as 360 did.  Microsoft is trying incredibly hard to influence Square to make a FF13 game for the 360.  Why?  Because they want to sell the 360 in Japan desperately?  Why?  Because Microsoft KNOWS JAPAN IS IMPORTANT!  Microsoft is constantly trying to play Sony's game.  Releasing Blue Dragon and trying to have new quirky titles that the Japanese like.  They are failing anyway.  But Japan doesn't matter huh?  Microsoft says otherwise. 

Microsoft is trying its best to lure developers away from PS3.  PS3 STILL has a ton of developers, even though it is not selling nearly as well as expected.  Here is the problem.  And I think Microsoft recognizes this.  PS3 has sold over 3 million so far, about the same as 360 sold in the same time period.   This IS WITHOUT...good software, being $200 more expensive, no rumble, no HDMI cable, terrible E306 showing, competing with 2 consoles, etc.  See, Microsoft had a huge advantage in the 1st 5 months...360 had no competition for the next gen, had a $200 cheaper price point, had great software from the get go, has rumble, has a better designed controller from the original Xbox, had a much better E306 showing than Sony, etc. 

But DESPITE ALL OF THIS, PS3 is still on the same sales track as 360.  Microsoft is indeed scared of Sony and its PS3.

Did you really think that makes sense? Anyways, you guys have not made a decent rebuttal to the guys post. If you have nothing good to say, don't post. My definition of a troll"

Troll- A PS3 fan whose makes counter-arguments of that of 360 and Wii fans.

Please, the real trolls are you guys that can't give a decent rebuttal to someone's post. However, Gamespot and you beloved 360, Wii fans sees otherwise. Oh, Great post TC I agree with you.

I agree with the OP on most points.  MS IS scared of Sony....in the console wars.  Both the XBox and the 360 have yet to be profitable to the company.  They need the 360 to take off and win, or the shareholders will not be happy. 

However, as for the whole company, no, MS is not scared of Sony at all, as they focus on two entirely different markets.

You do realize that Sony is losing hundreds of dollars per console right? 

Oh and yeah that was what I was getting at. Sony is no competition for Microsoft as a company.

Microsoft isnt afraid of Sony.  Sony isnt even giving Microsoft comp.  maby on the gaming industry but MS isnt even worried or even cares of the gamming industry.  What MS feels threaten by is the GREAT MAC POWER.  MAC has been MS arche rivals since the beginning not Sony, They could care less for sony and nintendo for the xboxes are to me (IMO) side projects that seem to have landed them some money. So if MS is afraid of someone its MAC.  Oh and Farcry was an exclusive that went to the the GREAT Wii.

MS doesn't need to be afraid of Sony. Both companies have other sources of income, and besides, the PS3 is flopping hard enough on its own.

As far as the PS3 sales go, considering that the PS2 sold five times as many units as the Xbox, the PS3 keeping pace with 360 sales at the same point in the systems' lifespans is nothing to write home about.

So...what? I don't get your point. MS is in direct competition with Sony and they are currently the market leader.

Maybe they are afraid of Sony, maybe Sony is also afraid of them, maybe it doens't really matter either which way, or maybe it's a good thing?

Stop trying.D0013ER

:| Maybe I will.  I mean, if another person other than me had made the EXACT SAME THREAD, it would have been debated.  But every single one of my threads now have a response of "Oh, it's another lame AvidGamer thread" or "stop trying" or "you're lame".  Great arguments :roll: Try disproving my thread instead of typing 2 words and hitting reply.  Because saying "stop trying" just shows me you have no intelligent rebuttal to my original post.  If my post is so ridiculous, THEN TELL ME WHY instead of posting something incredibly pointless as "stop trying"!

Isn't the low-ranked contender supposed to be a-skeered of the title-holder?  And isn't he supposed to study that title-holder's moves, if he wants to win?

I had no idea Microsoft was trying to get PS3 exclusives to go multiplat until right now, when you told me. I actually thought they were going to pay money to not have companies make games for their system.

You should right articles to enlighten the masses. Your first article can be something along the lines of "Two companies in direct competition with each other make efforts to sell the most products." I smell a Pulitzer.

I love how you have no rebuttal to my thread post, but instead choose to insult me.  Thanks a lot!  And I NEVER EVER once said that this was a fact.  It is obvious it is my opinion.  I guess opinions are fine in system wars....as long as it doen't come from an AvidGamer post! :roll:

If you have a competing product and you are not concerned with what that competetor is up to and you are not actively seeking a way to negate a competitors advantage then you have already lost. I don't understand what the point of this even was. If it is some sort of attempt to throw a bad light on M$ then thats fine Sony needs the help. If it is just another attempt to stir up the SW hornets nest then thats cool also. If it was an attempt to say something meaningful then you failed.

Again if you know this is pointless what you keep doing it?,you enjoy humiliation or something?.I know random threads and fanboyism is the heart of SW but i think SW is almost dead,no one is giving a damn after the E3 of 2006,unless someone is owned hard SW is dead.

I had no idea Microsoft was trying to get PS3 exclusives to go multiplat until right now, when you told me. I actually thought they were going to pay money to not have companies make games for their system.

You should right articles to enlighten the masses. Your first article can be something along the lines of "Two companies in direct competition with each other make efforts to sell the most products." I smell a Pulitzer.

But DESPITE ALL OF THIS, PS3 is still on the same sales track as 360.  Microsoft is indeed scared of Sony and its PS3.

Whatever.  Still doesn't change the fact that based on the responses I get to my posts lately, I feel as if I'm somehow the only person on system wars with an opinion.  I guess I'll KEEP ALL OF MY THREADS FOR NOW ON VERY SHORT, because I've learned one thing well in this forum....it is pointless to try to ever get a point across without getting flamed and insulted.

As far as the PS3 sales go, considering that the PS2 sold five times as many units as the Xbox, the PS3 keeping pace with 360 sales at the same point in the systems' lifespans is nothing to write home about.

GrlGmr
The ONLY reason it has the same sales as the 360 lsat year was because the 360 had a shortage from launch until about March/April. PS3, however, is WIDELY available everywhere I go.

Maybe the reason everybody says that stuff is because your threads really are pointless and not very well thought out. I mean, jsut look at your Forza 2 thread "Downgrade Confirmed." You know that it's going to be an amazing game and that the jaggies are going to go away with motion yet you keep saying it.

Yet there was another thread earlier with a completely different poster that read something like "147 new Forza 2 pics"...people in that thread were saying "downgrade" right and left and saying how BAD THE PICS LOOKED!  But, I guess since I MADE A THREAD ABOUT IT, then people suddenly change their minds.  People are out to own me no matter what I say now!  It's a fact!

 So, when did Sony announce a new OS? Until then, Sony fears MS....

I learned that too but in the hard way,try to say something positive about Sony without being flammed in fact try to say something positive about MS or Sony without being flammed,the population of this forum is 65% sheep so i gave up on doing intelligent threads,i started to make fun threads but somehow they were offensive to someone and it was just about a dancing fat kid with a wii.

If you have something smart to say keep it to yourself since no one especially here in SW will give a damn or take it seriously thats what i learned in SW.

If you have a competing product and you are not concerned with what that competetor is up to and you are not actively seeking a way to negate a competitors advantage then you have already lost. I don't understand what the point of this even was. If it is some sort of attempt to throw a bad light on M$ then thats fine Sony needs the help. If it is just another attempt to stir up the SW hornets nest then thats cool also. If it was an attempt to say something meaningful then you failed.Riverwolf007
So you make a pile of lame threads every day then when you are mocked for it you cry. Then in this lame one you cry that nobody answers you and instead mocks you, then I take the time to answer why its so lame and you ignore it. I would rather read the latest manifesto from PS3_FTW than any lopsided silliness that you ever come up with.

Its not so much that they are afraid of sony as much as they just recognize Sony as powerful competitor and a threat to potential business in many markets. MS doesn't put their tail in between their legs at the sight of Sony but they do know who has had a stranglehold in the videogame industry for more then 10 years, and they know Sony isn't going to roll over anytime soon.

Threads usually derive from logic. How can you logically say that a game looks bad when you haven't seen it played?

Well your reputation for well-thought out threads doesn't exactly precede you.

Yeah, like all those threads that say...

:lol: Lemmings!

...and nothing else!  Those are incredibly intelligent. :roll: I'm not saying my threads are smart by any stretch of the imagination, but I do make fairly long posts with my own personal opinions on subjects.  I also use facts...PS3 has no rumble...NOT DEBATABLE!  PS3 sold same number of units in same time period as 360...NOT DEBATABLE!  PS3 is $200 more expensive than premium 360...NOT DEBATABLE.  Microsoft trying to steal exclusives away with lots of money....NOT DEBATABLE!  But I guess you're right anyway!  I need to change my threads and make them well thought out...because God knows there are soooo many of those in system wars with people calling each other names and flaming each other to death.  Sorry for having a freaking opinion!  Maybe my next thread should just saying ":lol: at the Wii!  How kiddy!" without any other substance to it.  I'm sure that would be 1,000,000 times better than my posts! :roll:

Good thread. MS definitely views Sony as a competitor, if you wanna call that being scared, then go ahead.

It just seems that MS realizes that Sony is truly their toughest competition since their consoles cater to a similar demographic (with the PS brand luring more casuals).
