Did Xbox lose every advantage it had?

Can you answer the question I asked?  Doesn't seem like MS knows what they are doing most of the time does it?

I don't think you read my comment clearly. If someone were to say Sony knows the console market better than a forum dweller,  would you respond with talk about Betamax, Minidisc, UMD, Memory Stick, etc? And idk why you would throw the Xbox One in there. The market seems to be accepting it just fine.

See but that's the best you can come up with.  Sony created the personal audio market with the Walkman, they expanded the gaming market with playstation, and they are a market leader in cameras.  Everyone has there fair share of failures, but Sony comes up with great ideas just like Nintendo, Samsung, and Apple (Though I kinda hate Apple).

 

Microsoft made a good OS and Office product, and then throws money and every problem they see hoping that's enough.  They have publicly said they joined gaming to "Steal some of Sony's marketshare."  They didn't want to come up with anything innovative, just leech.

 

Your Walkman example is hilarious, considering IIRC Sony paid royalties to some company who had already patented and was already selling a portable cassette players? The rest is just you reaching for straws, grasping for some sort of legitimate argument to make.

Your anti-MS tangent is adorable and all but rather than take it seriously and respond to the rest of it, let me again ask, what does it matter? Does what Sony did in other markets somehow affect MS's knowledge of the gaming market? Does the fact that MS misfired on the Zune, somehow make a random VGChartz forum poster a better judge of the gaming market than them? The answer of course is no. I'll respond again if you want to address what I actually said and not some list of failures (which Sony and MS each have a long list of).
