I always wondered if xbox gamers care about gaming? Between the 3 big console makers SONY has been the only one to take risks with new ip's.
MS has been recycling their ip's for the past 3-4 years. If MS quits with xbox then all their ip's will just become multi plat or pc exclusive.
If Sony quits with playstation who is going to take the risks that sony has with games like little big planet, heavy rain, journey, Puppeteer, Rain, and many others. Sony also gives their developers creative freedom and time to do what the developers want. Sony also supports a variety of game genres including the dying platforming genre (thanks xbox) thus supporting every gamer out there.
Even developers are praising Sony for their support to developers. OTH developers dislike microsoft as many horror stories have been written against microsoft. Even Bungie had to buy out their freedom from M$.
Also look at what microsoft has done with the xbox. They have zero aaa first party games this year for the 360, and they seem to want to make the next one less about new gaming experiences and more about its media functionality. If the tactics stated in the op are true then as a gamer that is disgusting to see MS play so low.
I might get banned for this but I must speak my mind as I just don't get how xbox gamers can be MS fanboys.
