Microsoft for sure. They just wanted to stop Sony from conquering the living room and they're not passionate about gaming like Sony are.

Sony is buying and creating developers for long term, for decades into the future, while MS is investing in motion controls and third party timed exclusives which is a short term strategy.

Also, historically Microsoft from his investors has demands to achieve almost unrealistic profit margins of 20-30% that just aren't possible in the gaming business long term. While Sony's shareholders accept a more realistic 0-5% profit margin.

I sincerely hope I am wrong though.

No, I think MS just wanted to expand into the living room. Fortunately for MS, it was made easy this gen due to dumb decisions made by Sony thus giving ground to the competition.

I fail to see how Sony is more passionate about gaming. They put out more games but very few  of their titles are actually note worthy. You don't know what MS has under their sleeve either. We already know they're putting more studios together.

It would be stupid for MS not to invest in motion gaming. Kinect has been a real game changer for them. Notice the holiday sales? Sony doesn't invest much in motion gaming because Move is doing horrible.

I don't believe 360 is getting timed exclusives other than digital downloads. But the timed exclusives in the past gave them an edge and was probably cheap to get when PS3 sales were struggling.
