I would hate Microsoft for trying to pitch me on the purchase of Blu-Ray, and indeed forcing me to buy Blu-Ray despite the fact that it is entirely needless for gaming, and in most cases, also completely useless, with mandatory installs and all.
You see, if MS forced us to pay extra and buy a Blu-Ray device, in order for them to help the new device become better adopted and more popular, then they would have been screwing over the gamers, in favor of their own new unrelated product. They would be making gamers pay for their new thing, by requiring a purchase of it, with their new gaming console, despite it being a totally seperate thing alltogether. It would be like Microsoft making me buy a pair of 200 dollar wireless headphones with the next Xbox 360. Sure, those headphones could convievably have a use in gaming, but they are completely needless, and Microsoft is only making us buy them because they know we will, and they don't care about the customers they lose because they refuse to buy the stupid, expensive, pointless, and completely out of left field, heaphones.
That is why I would hate Microsoft, and smile at every failure their stupid headphones would have cost them.
I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.
NO NO, NO NO NO.
