Microsoft is so pathetic...

Insults? He specifically said it's important for the industry, but that overlooking current consumers in hopes for the future is not always the best outlook.

Microsoft leave Sony alone

What exactly does Microsoft have planned to current customers other than a bootleg Gears Of War game? Microsoft abandoned the current customers a long time ago.

No they didn't abandon current consumers :? Don't over exaggerate.

Microsoft has consistently been building their console as an entertainment device, for many years (as have Sony, to a lesser extent), and appealing to a  wider  audience than the "core" crowd -- which everybody b*tches and moans about here. That being said, they still provide a briliant platform for multiplatform games, and build upon that, by offering timed-exclusive/exclusive DLC and content where possible.

If you don't like what they are offering, that's fine. However, I can guarantee that their market research is better than what we have access to.

Again, what GAMES are Microsoft producing? That is the primary purpose of a console.

TC is probably legit.

I see this is going to be a "bu-bu- they don't have exclusives" debate. Shocking. 

They're offering a multitude of games outside of exclusives. They rely on  other  features of the console, and their business practice, in order to draw in the consumer. Recently, that has been to expand the "game consoles are just for games" mentality, and to create a multimedia platform.

Like I said, if you don't like it, that's fine. However, I can guarantee that they have better market research than we do.

One of the most overlooked and underrated factors. I love that they support their systems so much for so long. If only they gave their handhelds that much attention.

So what you're saying is they have abandoned the 360, but third party hasn't. Gotcha. ;)

AmazonTreeBoa

That doesn't make much sense. Also, stop putting words in my mouth.

If they had abandoned the platform, they wouldn't be:

1. Partly focussing on Kinect.
2. Adding features to the console.
3. Publishing games for their console.

getting mad at a company for supposedly saying something about another company? now THAT's pathetic.

Microsoft smells. 

And by smell I don't mean like how you or I do by using our olefactory senses. I don't mean smell as a verb. I mean it as an adjective. More specifically, I mean they have an unpleasant odour like an aldehyde or cadavarine. 

Oh yeah. Feel the burn Microsoft. Feel the burn like how it burns when I inhale the smelly aroma of Microsoft's casual doctrine. 

Microsoft is nothing more than a corporation who wants to make money to appease it's shareholders, whereas Nintendo and Sony don't care about shareholders or profits at all.

Again, what you an I think is irrelevant. Facts are facts and everybody can see the support (or should I say lack of) they are giving the 360. Defend Microsoft all you wish. Doesn't change anything.AmazonTreeBoa

You said they have abandoned the 360 -- or, rather, you put those words in my mouth. I feel you might benefit from looking up that word in a dictionary.

I'd hardly call it defending Microsoft. More just a lack of ignorance.

Microsoft released these games themselves on the 360 last year

• Skulls of the Shogun
• Kinect Party
• Halo 4
• Forza Horizon
• Dance Central 3
• Happy Wars
• Fable: The Journey
• Mark of the Ninja
• Dust: An Elysian Tail
• Iron Brigade
• Deadlight
• Spelunky
• Trials Evolution

They also helped to bring games out like Sine Mora, Alan Wake's American Nightmare, Minecraft, and many others to the 360 last year.

It doesn't look like Microsoft abandoned the 360 to me.

It's a sad gaming world we live in where people ignore good games simply because of how you purchase, or play them :(

MS is going to support the 360 as long as Sony is going to with the PS3. They had to abandon the Xbox because of the the deal they had with Nvidia. They couldn't keep losing money on the Xbox.

Pathetic that you support and company that has as much money as MS yet barely support quality core games. MS has 6 times plus the money Sony has,  there's no excuse for them sucking so much in the franchise department nor should Sony/ Nintendo have more of them. If MS focuses on kinectbox more than core for 720, you guys deserve it for following them so blindly. That's what you get when you root for a company that barely tries.

The only thing MS will offer at their 720 confence whenever that is nothing but entertainment and more Kinect games.

They didn't abandon it, they just dropped core to focus on kinect(lol)Heil68

I'd hardly call starting an entire developing studio to carry on the Halo franchise, dropping the "core market". It also doesn't help that they still publish great games, and have a huge focus on their Arcade portion of the 360 (though far from the best digital-publisher).

They aren't perfect, but these inane arguments, which hold no water, are getting so boring.

They really are pathetic. I can't believe I used to be an Xbox fan. Online fees for the same service everyone else gets for free, the same 3 games over and over every year, cheap hardware that breaks almost every day, a controller that uses AA batteries.
