thy to control the distribution of games how and went to play then , and treated gamers as thieves with these stupids rediculouss DRM poli ,,after all MS its a USA corporation ,, and they dont gona giveup to have or try to control the console industry and gamers .....

They're out to make money. Just like the other two. Sony and Nintendo aren't some angel y'know.

Money is all any business cares about. Find something people want and sell it to them. Is that a good reason? As good a reason as any other company. None of them care about you.

MS never has or never will care about gamers. They always quit supporting their old console 12-24 months prior to the next consoles release, and as soon as they thought they had a stranglehold on the console market they announced the terrible "pre-180" policies. If it were not for Sony's strong showing XB1 fans would be dealing with that BS right now. It weird this GEN, even the biggest MS fanboy has to be gratefull to Sony this GEN.

If MS ever gets in a dominent position again expect more anti consumer policies to follow shortly after.

My perspective on Microsoft is that they are in the market to dominate and destroy. They want to get to number 1, and then lock the door. Once on top they do zero creating or innovating. MS puts 100% of their effort in to making sure that no competition can ever get traction. They either hammer small buisness with lawsuits, buy them out, or slander them.

As I see it, the day MS would win the console war would be the last day they would ever make a new game, or add new os feature's. Their victory would mean an immediate shift to raising prices, tightening restrictive policies, and an end to research in new forms of entertainment.

As of now they certainly do. Losing (but not last place losing) brings out the better in them.

Frequent and meaningful updates, terrific big name games (not on PS4) at launch and 2014, unbundling Kinect, making the console cheaper and value oriented with great bundles. EDIT: Can't forget the free ODST to all Halo MCC early adopters. That was nice.

As opposed to Sony which so far is being kinda lazy with PS4 system updates, made PSN mandatory for multiplayer, PS Now prices are kinda taking advantage, bundles that don't actually save you money and even drive up PS4s cost ($450) with LOUR (that allready made Sony profit), a lack of quality AAA hits since launch, and a general complacency due to being the sales winner (because why try when you allready won).

Point being, Sony was playing catch-up last gen and won gamers hearts. Now MS is doing the same. Losing does that.

What are you taking about they are still supporting the X360 12+ months since the X1 released.

Yes, but its tough to match Sony on this level.

Infamous, Killzone, Uncharted were only modest hits, yet the increase in investment on the sequels is quite monumental. Meanwhile MS make a modest hit such as Crackdown and follow up with Crackdown 2, quite possibly the most gormless sequel ever made.

I don't know, I don't work for them.

I never said it is an exclusive practice. I just don't want MS to do it, because that means that I will never be able to play those games.
