The Reason I Don't Like M$

The only reason why I dislike Microsoft is because Rare games sell so poorly.

They have done everything else right.

Powerhouses like MS and Sony cause companies like Nintendo to be innovative: it's hard to compete directly with them (gamecube), thus the Wii is born. Blessings in disguise? Vyse_The_Daring

true

Well its probably obvious im a sony fan but im the first too admit that sony has made many mistakes with its strategy, but i dislike M$ even more. I used to own the first xbox mainly for halo but im not a big fan of M$ and heres why.
M$ is taking the same approach they did with the software industry, meaning they are trying to monopolize it. Because of M$'s deep pockets they can literally buy out many of the gaming companies(with exceptions: EA) which reduces the already low amount of exclusives. Personally i feel that each console needs its own exclusives to help people decide which system they are going to get. Also if M$ uses their money to pay for third party exclusives, that will eventually create a monopoly in the gaming industry causing bad business for everyone since M$ wouldnt have any competition. These are just my thoughts flame me if you would like but i thik M$ approach isnt good for the industry.PdIZZLE-PS3

Exclusives are evil, I don't want to have to sacrifice certain games I want to play because they are on a different console. And I don't want to have to buy all three, then I have no money for games

So what if there nabbing up Dev studios... Big game companies do the same thing.

So what if there paying Dev's to make games for there system... Big game companies do the say thing.

Its the world of games... The cost is high. $60 a pop, you can't mess up or you sink and die.

Microsoft is trying their best to succeed and who wins? Us... The gamers.

thats been nintnedo though. also new president got to pu that into consideration

I don't want any of the big 3 to ever have a monopoly over the gaming industry, and the one company that has the money and power to have one is definitely MS. I don't mind if MS becomes the industry leader, but do you really think they are just going to stop there? The answer is HELL NO, and you can see that with their operating systems because there is hardly any competition which only hurts us, the consumer. The same exact thing would happen to the gaming industry. And don't say well they are producing and getting all these great games now and will continue to in the future, and wouldn't it be great to just own 1 console. Most games would end up pretty much the same, just marginal improvements over its predecessor (good ex. Madden). Seriously, MS would also either come out with a new system every 3 years or just marginally improve their product because their is no competition which means their is no incentive to innovate or make their product better. And you would have to buy it, or you just give up playing video games.

I hate to say this cause I'm a wii owner, but look at the games on the wii right now. Since it is the only system out that can do what it can do, developers are throwing sloppy ports and crap games at it right now. There is no incentive for developers to actually try to make a great game because they know people will buy it or just have no games for the system. Hopefully Nintendo can raise the bar with Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3, and SSBB and show these lazy developers how to make a game from the ground up for the wii.
