Why is Microsoft screwing everyone?

It all goes back to 2009 when they decided to drop core and go 99% casual to chase the Wii's pot of gold. Last in games 3 years in a row and probably this year too. Pathetic. Heil68

[QUOTE="loosingENDS"]

[QUOTE="Second_Hokage"]They're screwing over their players. They're screwing over developers. And, they're screwing over the entire industry. Do you think microsoft is becoming evil, beyond what Activision and EA are?tormentos

You mean the initial cost of 300$ for 360 when PS3 had a 600$ cost ?

Or the secure and amazing online service, than having 10.000.000 credit cards stolen on PS3 joke online system ?

Maybe the fact that they have enabled indies create actual games with XNA, when Sony has nothing like it

Or the Kinect that is actually used in games unlike MOve that is a device Sony brought out and have zero support for it

Sure, MS is so evil and Sony is like a saint comparing

LOL

Wow, is it 2006 again?

They are becoming evil - yes, but nowhere near EA and Activision yet.

Indeed. EA, is the king of hell.

what the hell do you mean couldn't even save a game, all the core and arcade models came with memory cards, wireless and xbox live gold are optional, no matter what you say, as is the HDD, your argument has no credibility because half of the costs you are pointing out for the 360 are options, they are not a neccessity, that and the fact that it varies from region to region, Xbox 360 launched at 280 quid over here, Ps3 at 425 quid, both 20GB models, the core model 360 was 140 quid, so take your 20gb model 280 quid, wifi adapter 100 quid, so you have a 360 with a wi-fi adapter AND a HDD thats still 45 quid less than a Ps3.delta3074

who bumped this thread from 1993??GunSmith1_basic

They also kidnapped your baby.

lol of the 3 console manufactures nintendo is the only one ive seen that has not screwed its fanbase

sony enters the handheld market - with no good games a high price low battery life in 2005 -- expensive memory cards

they then charge 600 for a ps3 w ps2 bc , the whole nine yard then cut the price and features down

then psvita launches for the same price as a psp 1000 , same exact problems hardly any games and its been out 5 months, ridiculously priced memory cards oh and my vita dies in 4 months whats sony do -make me go through this long process of sending it in , --im still waiting

microsoft xbox360 ---lets see more expensive then a wii less then a ps3 but its faulty as can be broke down 11 times already , and they still cant get it right , and get this your forced to pay for online multiplayer or not have multiplayer at all , see there is many ways each one screws its fan base,

and i can point them out

and the only winner here is nintendo!

cause quite frankly it is half the price of the other 2 so you get what you pay for

the 360 still costs the same price as it did at launch in some cases and only 100 dollars less for non bundles so ya it goes 2 of the 3 ways

Welcome to capitalism. The only reason we have games in the first place because companies "screw" everyone. Besides, the 360 is an amazing console (arguably superior to the PS3), and that's all what matters.The_RedLion

horrible greedy company ... its a business but they take it to a whole different lvl

halo gears forza fable

1 or 2 pc/360 games sprinkled in

a whole bunch of kinect i won't ever touch games

a whole bunch of xbla (non retail games ... for a reason)

thats it ... thats freaking it ... E3 2012 was a joke for MS

Well, you see. It really easy to explain. Microsoft is like a swarm of Locusts, they take what they need from an area and move on. Whenever this stops brining in enough numbers, they'll move on.

Indeed, like Sony made the PSN+ to make extra money and they completly abandone the core in 2012 without a single serious game other than wonderbook and LBP Karting for the extreme casual market

Microsot is a pretty cool guy man, no need to necro outdated thread.

Hey TC, you really want to know why Microsoft screws it's fanbase? Because it's fanbase is dumber that sh!t, that's why. Want proof. Just look at your own thread and look how the morons defend Microsoft and bend over to take it without vasoline. At this point, I can't help but laugh at lemmings. I mean if they are too stupid to see what's going on and too spinless to stand up for themselves, why should I care.AmazonTreeBoa

I never once said nobody could enjoy the 360. I was just answering the TC question on why Microsoft does what it does. You then came along crying like a b!tch about something to do with a 12 ear old (do you have a kid fetish I should know about?).AmazonTreeBoa

How's M$ screwing people?

As much as I dislike them, they're simply offering products and services and ask for your money in return.

No one's forced to use them, though it's kinda hard to avoid them in the PC market.
