Anyone believe or hope Microsoft will leave the videogame business?

As much as I dislike the 360 as a console and the fact everyone ignores it's many many faults including next to no good exclusives (pc/360 games are NOT exclusive) I have to admit it has done alot for gaming, by pure accident of course,

Wow...pathetic, pc/360 games ARE exclusives if you are talking console (which most people are since Console gaming and PC gaming are very different), and aside from RROD (which has been all but eliminated) and overpriced paraphernalia (which are, for the most part, completely unnecessary) I see no other faults. 

Without the xbox we wouldn't have the trophies/acheivement system (which some games benefit from and other games it's kinda tacked on, Mirror's Edge is one that added gameplay value), online on the ps3 probably wouldn't be as good as it is now, alot of PC devs would of stayed on the PC (bioware and valve most notably), and alot of the great first party Sony games that came out these past years might not have if it wasn't for the competition, so yea, personally I'd rather Windows fail and MS leave that and someone capable steps in and make a OS that works without needing 2 gigs more ram for any game you want to play compared to any other OS 

 

Console exclusive doesn't mean exclusive it means it's also on PC, the definition of exclusive is  Not divided or shared with others, pc/360 games are shared between 360 and pc and NOT exclusive, and RROD has been eliminated lol, maybe with the newest consoles but 5 years later is pathetic and what about paying for live with no extra benefits you don't see that as a problem?

You are using semantics, the oldest trick in the book. Unfortunately, when a person says a PC/360 game is an exclusive, they don't specify it as a CONSOLE exclusive. At that point, even though it is clear they are talking console exclusives, all the fanboys jump them and start crying foul. It's not gonna fly with me. A PC/306 game IS a CONSOLE exclusive. The forum rules even back me up on this. PC/360 games are not shared with any other console, they are ONLY on the 360, you can;t get them on the PS3 or the Wii, therefore they ARE exclusives.

As  I stated before RROD HAS been all but eliminated, the chipset before the 360S was VERY reliable, and with a three year warranty on such failures, it's much better than the PS3, which seems to fail just outside of the warranty with the YLOD.

As for live, well, the network is better, it has more features, it's less buggy. and it's cheap. Sorry but your arguments are simply not valid buddy. I mean, I get that you hate all things MS, but really, do you need to pull out the old tired arguments that have been debunked time and time again? At least come up with something that is worth debating.

 

 

@ Smashchu2. If anybody is copying the Nintendo, it's Sony, or at least, that's what it looks like to the average consumer. Nintendo has yet to do motion control without a controller. At any rate, the blue ocean theory relies on there being competition, it is counterintuitive to the point you were trying to make since it only enforces my original statement.
