That is the way things work in the business world. Microsoft does everything it can to get people to buy its exclusives and its versions of 3rd party games, whether it means it being a timed exclusive or having exclusive DLC. Why? Because it likes beating its competators, like just about every other business does.

can't be competition if there is a monopoly especially when the lowest quality console it's paying third party to competition doens't get the software too.

both sony and nintendo built a awesome first second party studio, and they all produce good games, if they could why microsoft can't.

I hope this doens't turn into a another IE 6 thats it's preventing the internet to progress.

if microsft actually ever built a console that it's high quality, free online, but also have strong first party? u think i wouldn't buy it?

i be the first in line.

 

1. All consoles are monopolies, you can't put your program on them without the owners say so.

2. Nintendo built awesome studios, you can mention Sony but not in the same line.

3. Sony wrote the book on predatory business practices in the console business. The reason why they hardly made any money is that they were busy trying to drive Sega and Nintendo out of the business.

4. It doesn't matter that Microsoft charges for online, thats just their business strategy and you can take it or leave it.
