I totally hope that happens. I want to see Microsoft pushed back to beeing almost irrelevant. I feel they brought many destructive/greedy practices to the market that has been costing us consumers and publishers/developers and will continue to do so.
I do hope the Wii U picks up though (it already is tbh). I would be very pleased with a Sony/Nintendo only market. Microsoft can go back to beeing 3rd party or focus on phones or something. Thats where their pet rival Apple is afterall.

Such a blinkered and sad post. So they brought practices that other manufacturers were FORCED to follow? Name these awful, destructive and greedy practices that the industry HAD TO FOLLOW.
I'll tell you one thing that they have brought which you should be eternally grateful for.... competition. Imagine thr PS3 with its launch price and no competition...
You need to wise up.

I am entitled to my opinion and i do not wish to enter a huge argument about this. Instead of dragging this on i will give you the most blatant one: paying for online play. Yes, Sony is following suit, but they wouldnt have had if it wasnt for microsoft.
The competition is nintendo. Microsoft does not have a different enough offer to actually make any sort of difference. The games market was here and had competition before Microsoft joined. You can bet it will still be here after they leave.

Why are so many people so hung up on having to pay $50 a year for Live. That's just over $4.00 a month. Most of the people who complain are the same ones who go out and rent games for $7-$8 a pop for a few nights. I have all the systems, I'm not a fanboy of Microsoft (in reality, I've never like MS at all), and have to give them credit, Live is/was by far the best online expierence of the three 7th gen consoles. Period.
