You have to be mentally unstable to trust a corporation that is trying to make money. But I like MS the most out of 3 because they're not scared of making choices and games that I like.
They're natural leaders and not "Mr me too".

I'm very excited for Illumiroom, the goggles thing and to see how Kinect 2.0 will fare this time. And Killer Instinct.

Lol. Kinda ironic considering they have done a full reversal and are following the pack of Nintendo and Sony in a lot of ways. 

OT - its all about reputation and MS generally seems to have a much lower one than either Nintendo or Sony. Microsoft's reputation was very high when they started this gen and  has gone down steadily ever since. Sony had a horrible start but its efforts to remedy its slow start means it has gained a lot of kudos and loyal fans since. Sony seem not to have considered drm from day one and have stated so and I for one totally believe them. Sony seem a bit more aware of regional issues and more considering of the fact that not everyone everywhere will have good broadband so I dontbelieve they considered any sort of logging-in-regularly drm. MS, imo, seems to focus on the US to an unhealthy amount and I can see them not considering the effect outside the US.

Put simply if Sony and MS said the same thing, I would believe Sony but look at MS as if they were putting one over on me.

You mean like Sony is following 360? Kinecteye, paid subscription etc... Sony didn't do anything, if MS did something was to reverse it's policies to the existing ones.

MS's reputation is just lower to you folks that don't do business  with them. That's your job, to nag at everything they do although you don't buy from them.

Sony didn't give a damn about your choices, they left the DRM to 3rd parties and never advocated for their peasants. But you believe in a money making giant corporation, there's nothing I can do about that.

Unhealthy amount of attention from MS in US(and UK). Well, I would've done the same to tell you the thruth. Those are the two countries that treat them for what they are(business company) instead of most of the countries that treat them like American imperial flagship. I know a lot of people in Europe don't buy Xbox because it's "Amurican". Japan, about the same. In 2008,2009 MS pumped the most JRPG out of 3 but didn't move a niquel in that area.

X1 is the most ambitious console out of the 3 and it makes sense for MS as they didn't just want to upgrade their graphics card(like the competition).
