As the above poster said, competition is good for consumers, and I for one wouldn't want any of the 3 dropping out of the race. System Wars wouldn't be the same if Sony just fell out of the race (like Sega) and started to make 3rd party games or if Nintendo just stopped supporting their consoles and made Mario Sports titles only.

I liked the good old days too. When there was only Sega and Nintendo duking it out ;)

Sony was 'the big bad new guy' on the console market too way back you know. Just like MS was last generation.

Why, because MS have cornered the OS market ?

I thought we were here to discuss gaming ?

Umm. Combat flight simulator, Age of empires, halo. Non of these games would have been what they are today withoout MS

Oh yeah. MS also brought Online play to consoles with ease. Do you really think sony would have obthererd with PSN if it wan't for xbox live?

Oh yeah, it was never sony and Nintendo. Remember sega. It was sort of a 4 hores race at one point.

ok, first of all. 4 hores?

and, there is no freaking way in high hell that microsoft itself made those games. microsoft can't do **** right. they hired

people or formed some kind of new branch which they stole employees from sucsessful game developers/publishers.

Horse If you can't work that out then.....

It was still Microsofts money that payed for the developmet of those games. Odds are they wouldn't have been nerly as good wihout that kind of finachal backing...

MS didn't make them, they just bought the companies that did, thus making them in-house. If MS wanted, they could buy every game developer they want, and it could happen which is pretty scary.

if microsoft wasnt around, we wouldnt have a lot of the good games coming out._en1gma_

Yeah, Halo would have been a Mac/PC Shooter and Gears would most certainly be on PC too, MS has just been wonderful to PC Gamers, let me tell ya.

Microsoft has pushed Console online gaming. Without MS in the arena, could you imagine how much worse Sony and Nintendo's online strategy would be.

LOL, its not as if sony makes their games, they have 1st party dev houses to make thier games .MS either has their 1st party devs pump out great games(Halo, Forza, Age of Empires) or it hires third party devs, funds thier projects and publishes their games(PGR,Mass Effect, Gears)

Nothing wrong with that

I hatehow Microsoftbought themselves in... and how SEGA had to leave :cry:Eponique
If anything just so you know - MS tried to be a partner to Sega more then just the Windows CE part of DC and SOA was all for it but that stubborn part of Sega ( SOJ ) would not hear of it and in all honesty, SOJ is just lame and has no sense of where the ind. was going.

It was Sony who killed Sega ( No EA games and No GTA3 - many devs were bought off - Sony had the $$ then making sure DC failed ) and MS is giving Sony what Sega would like to give them- a fair fight this time- lol.

Yeah, the fact that microsoft could just buy the majority of developers has got to be scry. Bugger, got to go now its just started raining and my windows open.

I myself wouldn't buy a MS game system, but the competition keeps Nintendo and Sony in line and prevents them form slacking off. I am not biased towards or against any system, but i am happy with my PS3 more than any other system on the market. :)

"Good Old Days"? There have always been atleast three companies the big three were Sega Nintendo and Sony...Sony is pretty new to the game and only about 13 years old, and Sega has always been there up until June 2001. XBOX came out in November 2001

So your "Good Old Days" with just Sony and Nintendo lasted oh I dont know...5 months?

So this thread fails...

I really don't like MS all that much. Shoddy hardware this gen, petty marketing strategies, milking, ect. But they can do whatever they want; it's their business, I can't dictate their decisions. I really don't know what things would be like without the xbox in the picture, and there is no point in theorizing.The only reason I have a 360 is because they're holding some of my favorite games hostage on it.

Lame thread. The good old days you were talking about was sega versus nintendo not sony. Im glad MS stepped in as segas replacement.
