Why Microsoft entered the Console War

Thanks for the insight.

And to the 2 above me, no, most people either don't know this or don't want to believe it. Especially 360 fanboys who want to believe that M$ is such a great company that has the best interests of their customers at heart, LOL.

M$ don't give a shit about console gaming or gamers for that matter. So Sony and Nintendo have consoles that to some degree threaten Windows. If M$ was confident in their OS they would simply work hard to make sure it stays ahead of the curve of anything the consoles have.

Healthy competition is good for consumers and it drives companies to innovate and make quality products. Unfortunately M$ will never see it this way and will waste billions of dollars trying to stomp Sony and Nintendo into the ground instead of spending that money making quality products.

At this rate, M$ is losing 5 billion $ per generation. Maybe after a few generations, they will finally back out of console gaming and let Sony and Nintendo do what they do best:)
