You didn't read much of what I said. Sounds like you simply found a part of it and flew with it haha. Not put them out of business but take them down a notch. Drop them in market share for probably ultimately buying them out haha. And if not that keeping them from competing with them in other markets. There's a reason MS backed HD-DVD haha.

I'm not saying MS wouldn't like to win the console wars or make profits... but I think that would only be a bonus to their current agendas for this market. Goes along with why they are so focused on the PS3 and why so lenient with the Wii while possibly even trying to make "friends" with Ninty. Go figure.

 

What I'm taking issue with is that you're faulting MS for trying to make money with their console. That IS their current agenda. It's the same as Sony's current agenda and Nintendo's current agenda. They are focused on the PS3 because they know they are not going to beat Nintendo. And Sony is focused on the 360 because they know they're not going to beat Nintendo. Sony is copying Nintendo and MS and MS is copying Sony and Nintendo.

Of COURSE they want to take their competition down a notch. That's what EVERY company wants to do. That's how business WORKS!! And I guarantee you that MS has no illusions that they'll eventually buy out Sony. And MS backed HD DVD because BluRay was an unproven, Sony-owned technology. They backed HD-DVD but likely had no intention of ever using it for games anyway. HD-DVD died, MS didn't have to worry about losses on their console, and that was that. MS is now able to lower prices, and Sony is not. Which CONSOLE really won that particular war?

Seriously what about 30 billion in losses aren't you getting haha. Is this just flying over your head or are you simply avoiding the truth on purpose.
