Have Microsoft solidified themselves as a gaming giant equal to Sony?

lol.  Most foreigners I've met personally speak english as well actually.

Also, I think you're severely undersestimating just how pervasive Windows actually is.  In 2007 Microsoft announced they had reached an installed base of 1 billion active Windows users.  For comparison, that's more Windows users than there are automobiles on roads.  And they expect Windows to double that userbase to 2 billion by 2015.

And actually, for those non-english speakers you like me to think about, Windows has official support for 126 languages with 178 dialects (and growing).

Depands what gen, sure some speak but many don't.  Many just move into their own community and never found the need to learn english.

Well what does active user mean. So if i have 3 users made on my one computer they count it as 3 even though its all me.  I cant even count how many computers i owned, i guess each one could be counted to bolster their pr release. 

Read up on poverty dude majority in the world are worried about food and water, not computers.

 

I'm not sure how methods were accounted for but they stressed active userbase.  I'm pretty sure they went through a billion Windows licenses back in the 1990s if that's what you're getting at.  I don't think this is like the PSN figures Sony likes to give out. ;)

And lol, we're moving into poverty now?  Yes, I'm sure the third world nations and emerging markets are just loaded with Walkmans, PlayStations and Bravias. ;)

Microsoft and the Gates Foundation is actually the largest non-governmental , non-religon, charity and aid based donator in the world.  They're probably more well known than Sony in these places...
