You must not know how companies operate in general, do you? Let me school you on the way a multi-billion dollar company works. First, let me start out by saying that I am a junior in college, a business major with a concentration in finance. When a company has a lead on another company, then they will do whatever it takes to maintain the lead because in the long-run, new products will be released, brand can be a deciding factor in which a consumer makes a purchase. In the last generation, Sony was the console of choice. Now, Microsoft is trying to convince more consumers to buy there goods and services of the same market. By the end of the year, they will have passed there old product WW. Even though microsoft may not come in second place, but they will have taken a significant chunk out of Sony's marketshare. If similar trends continue in upcoming generations, then that could spell trouble for Sony. 20 years from now, microsoft could me the market hog of the gaming industry. They are constantly spending money for resources and content, which Sony is not focusing on. Bottom line, you have to spend money to make money...in the future. |
Ummm, I know alot more about how companies operate than you do. I'm talking about all of their business practices that were determined to be illegal and monopolistic. They basically just steal ideas and copy them (I'm not talking video games, I'm talking in general) without giving compensation to the companies that came up with the idea. I've been at several companies that M$ was interested in purchasing, but they wouldn't even talk to M$ about their ideas because they knew the ideas would be stolen. Some great company.
They are behaving well in the gaming industry right now because that have no choice if they want to be successful. Believe me, we do NOT want M$ to become the dominant company in video games.
My advice to you, stay in school.
