Forums - Gaming Discussion - Xbox One Is Pricey Because Microsoft Doesn't Put Consumers First Like Sony Does

I am staying on topic, it's just that either you're ignoring what I said in my first post or I didn't express myself clearly. I'm guessing it's the latter. What I meant is that both MS and Sony are trying to do business and make profit (as much as possible) but their approaches are different. Sony favors pleasing their customers when it's clearly not the 'bad' way to go because they think that how they'll make profit, MS favors maximizing profit at every turn where it's clearly not the 'bad' way to go. Now Sony's investing more heavily in their online service and they feel they need to make more money from it, and they thought putting online play behind the pay wall wouldn't make their customers too unhappy. So yeah, they did it to make more profit but they most definitely considered it the smallest 'evil'.

Also, your comparison of Sony fans and MS fans isn't entirely correct. MS has a long history of not treating their customers that nicely, Sony doesn't. Which company do you think is going to get more forgiveness from consumers? You can't just ignore those factors, they definitely affect people's preferences.

Great job making excuses for Sony's grab for cash. Personally, I'm fine with companies trying to maximize their profits. If consumers feel like they're getting screwed, they go elsewhere. That's what happened when Sony put out a $600 console.

Which compnay is going to get more forgiveness from consumers? Most consumers don't give a fuck. They primarily just look at price and games.
