And they say SONY doesn't care about its gamers! Micro$oft killed the Xbox and forced people to buy the Xbox360 while SONY is giving people there choice! Im not a SONY fanboy.. but Micro$oft did not need to leave there customers in the desert like that! I give SONY ANd NINTENDO alot of respect for tryin 2 keep gaming more about having fun then spending money. Micro$oft's idea of a good system is make alot of $$$, at our expense! Micro$oft still doesn't accept that there console is deffective. This is why i don't own a Xbox360 anymore! Micro$oft doesn't care about there costumers. Why would i pay micro$oft to use my internet?!

PS: I kno theres alot of spelling errors..

No company is in the market out of the goodness of their hearts. They all want your money and your happiness is only a construction to keep you buying their products.

Yes MS is all about making money. Is that why they have lost over 4 billion on the XBOX and XBOX360 combined?

Even though it was a non-sensical fanboy rant yeah you're right about MS abandoning their fanbase and making 360 the only option for their fans. Their fans certainly didn't care but with PS brand the PS2 is still doing great while PS3 has yet to take off. Xbox definitely has a richer more dedicated fanbase at least.

And Nintendo is the biggest money grubbers in this gen. $250 for Gamecube hardware and $50 games with a 1/4 the budget of $60 ones on the others. $5/8/10 for tiny DOWNLOADS of old games that should be at the most half as much. Should be $150 Wii, $20-$40 games, and $2/3/5 for VC downloads.

1.9 to be more precise but MS has lost over 5.4 billion with their Xbox franchise. Not by choice though. http://kotaku.com/gaming/oh-snap/playstation-biz-almost-posted-2-billion-loss-260809.phphttp://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=75566

Well it didn't force me to buy a 360 after MS killed the xbox, what it did do was make me very leery of ever getting another one of it consoles...So in the long run MS abandoning the xbox only turned me into a PS3 owner..The justice of it all is that I use the $100 from my xbox sale to go towards my PS3...

It is a known fact that MS was losing money on the 360 when it was launched and lost around 3 billion on the XBOX. Go to wikipedia or go dig up MS yearly reports dating back to 2002 and see for yourself. They have currently lost around 1 billion on the 360, but are making head way and expect to actually be in the green sometime in 2008. Not a bad turn around considering they were never even close to being in the green with the XBOX. As far as Sony and Nintendo goes, Nintendo has always made money on their consoles and Sony has too until the PS3 disaster.

your just ranting on there the TC was just pointing out that MS left the Xbox for dead. your point about Wii is invalid because Nintendo hasn't discontinued the Gamecube. they recently released Zelda for it so you did not need to buy a Wii to play the game, Thats what the TC was talking about. he makes a great point because Xbox did leave it for dead I bought a Xbox when at launch traded it in and bought one again for halo 2 , 1 and half years later my money went down the drain since no other Xbox cam out so i traded it in cause there was no reason to keep it. i'm not buying a 360 cause in 2 more years it will be dead and maybe no backward compatibility.

Microsoft's evil, all they want is money. Nintendo and Sony on the other hand, they are evil, all they want is money. They don't care about us gamers at all. They would sell us identical ports at $500 each if they could get away with it. Ganon_919

There ya go, I fixed your previous post for you. :)

Not by choice is right. They made bad production deals which led to the early death of the XBOX. They made better choices when dealing with the 360 which is why they expect to make money on this system, which should prolong the life. They really had no choice but to end production of the original.

lol stop thinking your opinion is fact, 360 has done everything to deliver unlike play-station e.g.

lie'ing about pre-renderd graphics

unbelievable delays (Europe got f****d)

crappy on-line service(IMO xbox live destroys PSN, wait till the servers disappear and they will)

worst launch games(IMO and the opinions of the majority)

least first party and second party title out of the 3 console (don't believe me then check)

as for Nintendo they made best with what they have(IMO)

That is some guy's idea not facts bud... SONY's lost is official i didn't see Micro$oft reporting that! Micro$oft joined the Gaming biz for the heck of it! u think they care if the 360 fails? no! because your using Windows to look at THIS! this is part of SONY's actual job! SONY wanted to help Nintendo out and got kicked to the curb so the made the PS1. Micro$oft just wants more money so they made the Xbox!

Also.. yuh i know the Wii is a gamecube wit a new hood... but Nintendo does what its fans want! Not its US fans... its Japanese fans! They make them happy and i give them propz for that!

They both backstabbed each other in that contract, nintendo only betrayed sony because in the contract it clearly stated that anything developed for the snes-cd was sony property (If mario was made on it, that means mario now belonged to sony!) thats why nintendo backstabbed sony because sony had already backstabbed them.

It not only handed sony the rights to all or anything created for the technology but it basically meant sony was getting all the profits from it. Remember the majority of nintendos main titles are made by nintendo themselves, there the ones that profit from them, so basically what this did was slit nintendos throats because they would make games for the snes-cd but sony would get all the profit.

I'm glad they betrayed sony, it brought competition to the industry (Sega was already dying) just like microsofts coming into the industry has made sony stand up and realize that they can't screw around anymore. Competition brings out the best out of all sides, it makes they make there developers make sure that there are a steady flow of games for there platform and that those games coming out are high quality. (Sure they don't always get it right, psone and ps2 prove this time and time again).

Its common knowledge how much microsoft lost coming into the industry around here, obviously your new around here so i'll give you some advice, you can ask for links all you want, you will only get them half the time and acting blind to facts when they are presented infront of you means your a fanboy!

Well, after five years and over $21 billion invested, all they've got to show for it is $5.4 billion of cumulative operating losses, and Xbox 360 doesn't appear to be the silver bullet to turn things around.
