They tried crushing Apple. 

They didn't. When Apple was at the edge of bankrupcy, Microsoft invested in them. They wanted to have competitors. They didn't want to work their way on a monopoly.

 

Xbox was an attempt to reduce Sony's marketshare. It had nothing to do with "crushing them" or Nintendo, for that matter.

Well MS did save Apple with that investment but not the way we actually thought they did.

You got to hand it to Jobs, he was a sly one.
