MS just doesn't have its strategy down, that's their only weakness. I remember when their big thing was winning Japan through its RPGs, and now it's natal, or will be soon. Rather than doing one thing after another, why not spend some more time planning and get it right the first time? I honestly hope that MS has done this with natal so that they won't just give it a minimum of attention within a few years like I think that they will do.......
Also, with the third party issue with the PSN, they still have to pay somebody some serious $$$$ to keep the whole thing going, so whether they have a third party running it or not is irrelevant, they just can't be making hardly any money if at all on the PSN.
Ok? So, no, i'm not being a f-boy i'm criticizing both and making an effort at doing so.
