Then you better hate Sony too because that's exactly the same thing Sony is trying to do.
In fact, the whole reason MS went into consoles is because Sony wanted to turn playstations into set-top boxes, and MS felt threatened.
If the only company in gaming was Nintendo (that only cares about gaming) MS would have never got into video games. But the fact is Sony cares about a lot more than gaming, and thus is a threat that must be defended.
It's only smart of both companies to do this, BTW. Look at Apple, you think Ipod is just to play MP3's? Hell no, the main point of Ipod is to lock you into iTunes. That's why Ipods wont play other companies DRM. It's not because they cant, it's because Apple doesn't want you buying music from anybody but them. Apple wants to turn the Ipod, a innocent MP3 player, into a huge monopoly in many other areas.
Sad but true, a smart company will think this way, and if they dont then somebody else will just beat them to it.
Hell, the whole point of the damn PS3 is to pimp Blu-Ray! Shit man, are you that blind? I gaurentee you Blu_Ray is more important to Sony as a company than gaming. Now do you feel stupid?
Basically I can only respect your opinion on this if you hate MS AND Sony, because they are no different. Otherwise I have to call complete and utter bullshit from you. |
First off, watch your tone, its a discussion. And please don't try and school me on the goings on of the video game industry as judging from your hotheadedness I was likely gaming before you were born. And yes, I do ALSO dislikes Sonys vision of the set top box.
But if you notice, the thread title mentions NOTHING of Sony. The thread asks how you feel about Microsoft, and to that I replied. So take YOUR bullshit elsewhere and stop getting testy with me dude.
And finally, I never stated I hated Microsoft as a whole. I said I disliked their vision, not the company as a whole. Work on your reading comprehension before you go calling someone else stupid.
