Xbox One Is Pricey Because Microsoft Doesn't Put Consumers First Like Sony Does

Sony is in for both. They wanted to prove they could beat Nintendo in their own domain and by using better tech they would achieve those ends. Microsoft joined the gaming industry solely because Sony was becoming a dominant multimedia force and Microsoft has to stop anyone from doing that, which is why they are facing the top multimedia giants simultaneously as we speak. Games are part of the equation that they must face and eventually they'll get over their hump, but it wasnt a natural transition for them.

Right, Sony is in for both games and multimedia. Which is no different than MS. I'm glad we got that cleared up.

Sony beat Nintendo simply by throwing money around, getting better support, and using CDs. I'm reluctant to say the PS1 was better technology than N64 for any other reason than CDs.

No, you're mixing it up. Look up the history of Microsoft, they joined because Sony was posing a threat by having a massive marketshare and having massive success in spreading multimedia and threatening PC multimedia and gaming. Sony joined the gaming industry to prove they could beat Nintendo and also some thing it was a revenge play for Nintendo walking out of a contract with them when Nintendo was using Kutaragi to create their CD format for the SNES.
