Wasn't that the reason they entered the console space in the first place?

God Knows there not making any money.

Even Ken kutagari said 10 years ago that his enemy will be microsoft.

What's gonna happen to the game industry once Sony is no longer?

Nintendo swoops in and saves the day again?

No, their goal is to take any and all open source software, slap their name on it, take away bug support and sell it completely overpriced.

TC I find it hard to believe that Sony is going to just pick up and leave anytime soon.

It's Microsoft's goal to be the center of your digital entertainment and information experience. They wish to provide your gaming, internet, TV, movies, and communication through synergistic devices wherever you are. Xbox is simply a key component to take over your living room. This isn't just about 1 company.

Also, Sony has similar ambitions.

The problem is, once they take over, expect fees like in XBL almost in every service. And people will overreact and say: NOT FAIR! Well, if you helped them to monopoly the business, its also your fault.

Are people's thoughts here so shallow they don't think MS knew they were not going to make money on Xbox for a very long time? This isn't about creating a game console that rakes in money hand over fist...they already have an OS that does that. This is and always has been about establishing a footprint in your living room that has MS stamped all over it.

No , thier aim is to take over the World ... Bill Gates will accept nothing less. ....

Microsoft will soon be the new NASA ... and they will lead planetary strikes against other civilizations, if they indeed exists.

Bill Gates has nearly perfected immortality by connecting his body to his personally Super Computer Running Windows "Tripod" as he proudly named it.... he will exist for eternity and rule the universe ... there is no god, there is only Bill Gates.

The goal was to stop Sony from getting something like a PC into the living room.  With the PS3, they've come damn close - MS was right to worry.  As a longtime MS user and developer, their strategy is to make many things that add value to one another - if you're a .Net shop, then SQL Server has some neat stuff that's easier than the equivalent with Oracle, or Vista adding a media server for the Xbox 360.  
MS just wants to shut Sony out of putting a media box in the living room, so that they can get into the living room themselves.  Nintendo isn't interested in selling a media box - they want to sell a low-cost, simple game console.  (And apparently, a lot of people want to buy exactly that from them.)  This generation is the first time that game consoles have had this kind of functionality built-in, so we'll see in a few years (when prices reach $199) whether the idea of a media box has broad appeal, or whether people just want to play games.

They can't, the home of videogames is Japan and Japanese people are very proud of their products, look at the sales figures of 360, PS3 sells 9:1 , how about the Wii, maybe 20:1, so evey 30 japanese console, there is only one 360 sold,that's why they will not survive in the videogames industry, plus, Sony's name/brand is very famuos in electronics, so anyone prefers a Sony product, it is more reliabale and this is fact not opinion.Worldwide is what 360 can't do, in the other hand, Sony will dominate worldwide, just wait for christmas, Kingdom will come.

Ok, I'm done.  That's the most ridiculous statement I've ever heard.  Seriously, the US has id, Epic, Bungie, and other developers who have been cranking out fantastic games for ages.  You want RPGs?  Origin was delivering deep RPGs back in the 80s.  FPS?  We invented it (Ultima Underworld), we perfected it (Quake 2), we're still doing it better than anyone (Unreal Tournament).  Racing?  Kneel before Papyrus; they own you (IndyCar Racing and Nascar Racing - the original racing sims).  Sports?  We've got a lock on it, with the exception of soccer (and let's be fair - most Americans don't care about soccer, so we're not going to make the best soccer game).  Sandbox games?  The masters of the genre are in Edinburgh, Scotland.  Stealth games?  When Thief got done smacking the entire genre silly, Splinter Cell stepped in (excluding the crap ones, which are done in China).
We've been punching out fantastic games on the PC for years - MechWarrior, X-Wing, Wing Commander, Descent, Fallout, Syndicate... the list goes on.  It's only recently that our developers have transitioned from the PC to the broader audience of the console.
Let me know when Japan makes a game half as good as the original System Shock.  Then we'll talk.
