| S.T.A.G.E. said: You forgot to add Xbox Live Golds existence to Microsofts list of woes (which forced Sony to create an alternative), Activision convincing them to increase the price of Xbox Live annually, always taking the side of third parties over the consumer in any matter, and threatening Gamestops profits by trying to dip their hand into the second hand market which legally they have zero right to. Oh yeah...you forgot the best of all....Microsoft risked the quality of all launch 360's by trying to beat Sony to the punch. Thats definitely thinking about your consumers. :) |
Live is not a woe and it's adorable the way you blame MS for Sony dipping their hands in the pay to play online model. It's funny, Nintendo is the market leader and yet they aren't being "forced" into creating an alternative. Sony sees a potential revenue stream, they are using it to make money. It's just that simple.
Activision isn't the only company that gets a cut of XBL subscriptions, and you've no way of knowing what all went into them hiking up the price of XBL. What, do you have more video game insight from Michael Bay on this one? LOL
Not even sure what you mean by "always taking sides of 3rd parties" but please do explain because I am sure it will be entertaining to read. And how was MS dipping their hands into GS profits? MS wasn't making a penny off used game sales on Xbone, it was between the publisher and retailers. Funny, Sony has actually done more of the whole "cutting into GS profits" with their PSN Pass than MS ever did yet I am sure you're somehow ok with that.
RROD most definitely belongs on the list of MS woes. Though, they repair them for free, so maybe that's why he didn't include it. But you bringing that up reminds us of another Sony woe: YLOD. Thanks!
