Folks want to hate on MS's success. Just think about all of it for a minute. MS wants to get into video games - takes a plunge and gets thumped by the reigning champ. Goes back to the drawing board and figures out a way to create a device and delivery system to dethrone - or seriously slow down last gen's victor. Even with the RROD, they have accomplished that task. Could Sony bounce back and eventually beat MS? Of course - but to be firmly in second place, the top HD console with a 7M lead AND making profit is noteworthy.
Sony fans won't admit or even acknowledge the 360's success, but others will.

I agree they've been successful, money/sales wise. But I don't agree that it makes them a better company.

Where in my posts have I called MS a *better company?* I gave props to MS for turning a loss into a victory.
I think you are reading way too much into my post. Both Sony and MS - and Nintendo - and any other big corporation is in business for THEM, not YOU or ME.
While I do enjoy gaming on the 360, don't get it twisted - I am a gamer, not a fanboy of any system. Good games, that's what I'm all about.
