Xbox Live Gold is not good value, and it is holding the 360 back

Ofcourse Online Fees are the reason why the Xbox360 has not won against the PS3. If the 360 would have free online I would have bought one. And thats the strongest selling point of the PS3 .

Not Bluray its free online. And thats the reason why the PS3 will have more sales LTD then the Xbox. I wont ever pay for online gaming except i get a real value for it. Xbox Live Gold has not even dedicatet Server PSN has them and its free. It was a huge mistake from MS I think thats the reason why it isnt on 50 million right now. And I hope they loose. If Sony wants money for Online gaming (outside of MMORPGs) I would completly switch to PC. Not because I cant afford it but it was always for free and now they charge without doing something. they want money to allow you to use the full potential of the Game you already bough

And to pirates. Pirating is bad for software sales but not for hardware sales. Thats another reason why the Xbox still has an advantage of 6.62 Mio Consoles.

I just hate the MS buisness model. Thats the reason why I dislike them.

Would you prefer is MS adopted Sony's business model? Do whatever it takes to sell your console and take huge losses?

That's a red herring. Sony's huge losses are not due to offering online for free.
