WHY DID MICROSOFT ENTER THE CONSOLE RACE?

Sony monopolying the market (SEGA dropped out, Nintendo was in decline) was seen as a threat.

With out MS our only choice now would be an overpriced console or an underpowered console. I'm happy there is a middle ground.

Very true,even if MS lost many 360 exclusives to Pc and everyone without a 360 got the Pc version/piratated the Pc version.

I`m surprised the 360 got so far,the exclusive and consoles only games are just beginning to show.

I think that Pc buyers switched from Pc to the 360 in the living room on the big TV in the living room,while pirates stayed on Pc with the remaining Pc buyers.

My 2 cents...
