Heh, really? While PS3 fans wish for Sony to undermine M$'s "gamerscore" initiative, M$ has spent the past gen undermining Sony's actual games... timed exclusives and DLC, making once Sony-exclusive 3rd party franchises go multi-platform (you can STILL feel the butt-hurt in this every time FFXIII is brought up... if only it had remained a PS3 exclusive, it would have been the best game EVAH!!!), the PS3 getting stuck with shoddy ports of AAA games like Orange Box and Skyrim, etc. |
Oh, to be sure, MS did a really good job. However, there are a lot of people who consider gamerscore to be a sunk cost and don't want to lose it.

Well I'm not sure M$ will carry everyone's existing achievements / gamerscore over to the NextBox since they are two entirely different platforms. Rumors are they're completely revamping XBL, so your existing XBL account may not even work with NextBox.
I can see why gamerscores and trophies make people purchase one particular version of a game over another because they'd rather the achievements and trophys be counted towards the console they've invested more time and money in thus far, but once the next-gen consoles kick off I think that point will be moot.

This.
Would be the biggest mistake they could possibly make.
