The only problem i have with microsoft is kinect but other then that microsoft is actully a good company and sony wont copy.They will copy but then cancel whatever they are copying and abandon it.

Same on all counts could be said for Sony and the Move(and Nintendo regarding casuals).El_Zo1212o

I'm perfectly fine with that, and numbers indicate so is most of the industry, so I fail to see the issue.

it is a business, there is no mayor diference between sony, nintendo and ms. the only thing that they want is money. (as all of us!)

I want more than money. I want diamonds and gold, brother.

*laughs* I just cant even begin to show you all the ways your wrong and all the things that nintendo or sony did first.
I'll just post...Sony just launched the UMD thing for VITA take the time out of your day to download a registration app scan your UMD and get a discount on a game you've already purchased!

I'll believe MS is evil the day every other gaming company in existance becomes a non-profit company

"Is a $100,000 system being outsmarted by a $150 toy?" he asked. "Indeed this is the case."

:lol:

"I don't think Microsoft has realized that [Kinect] is something that could change medicine."

:shock:

yeah that Sony umd thing is a cash in, rip off like some of ms' tactics as well as many other companies. But it's business, not personal. Taking it personal is ones choice like believing these companies care about us on some level.cainetao11

Girls from Antarctica are perky. ;)

Yep, im not a big fan of big companies, MS included.

Still, if there´s something MS did right, it was the 360! Awesome console.

:lol: This is how you call "BRIBERY":

"Sony paid $400-million for Blu-ray deal with Warner"

What remains a mystery is just how big a push Warner needed to pick sides. Analysts say Sony only prevailed following a heated bidding war against Toshiba, with the reward reaching as much as $400-million (U.S.). Neither side has confirmed the size of any bids or payments.

With billions of dollars in global sales at stake, experts had predicted the Toshiba-Sony battle would go on for years - not unlike the 1980s battle of videotape formats between VHS **** and Betamax (Sony). That war lasted a decade, leaving Sony battered and humiliated.

So how did this epic battle come to such an abrupt end?

The answer lies in part with the bruising Sony experienced with Betamax, which, like Blu-ray, was also the better product on paper.

For more that 20 years, Sony has been "haunted by Betamax" and was fiercely determined not to let history repeat itself, explained Xavier Drèze, a marketing professor at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton business school.

"Sony was much smarter," Prof. Drèze said. "They understood this time they couldn't do it alone. They understood that they needed strategic partnerships with industry players."

Sounds good, TC. If you say so *goes back to playing XBox 360*

Yes because Nintendo and its garbage gimmick Nintendo Wii isnt the reason why MS went the casual route. Lets blame MS.........

Sony isn't helping with Online Pass either.

MS rejected Bluray. your point?

i know the TC is using a puppet account but I agree that microsoft has had a largely negative impact on gaming.
