umm LordFlashheat....seriously they have already said thats why they entered into the console market. I'm sure they want a successful system and don't want a complete failure but MS already was a successful and huge company before entering into consoles. Why would they have created a successor to a system that posted such huge losses as the original xbox? obviously they had larger goals in mind which as I already stated is protecting PC market share and the Windows OS.

Also they weren't necessarily worried about the PS2 cutting into it but seeing how each iteration of the Playstation has included more and more features and becoming closer and closer to a PC they were worried about it eventually becoming a potential threat. Thus they got in before that happened to help minimalize the potential damage. Any of this making sense?

And no I'm not a PS3 fanboy I own every system this gen including handhelds.  I'm not a fanboy for any console it even says so in my bio on my profile.  I just don't understand what your argument is here?  anyways this is my last post in this thread its full of stupid arguments.
