Keep your blind faith in MS. No ones advocating it or putting it down but rather talking about Microsoft as a corporation and their practices which ARE detrimental to the industry (which can affect consumers).

I agree with that statement 100%.
However, I also consider Sony to be a detriment to the industry.

They have done some pretty shocking anti-consumer practices in the past.

Then again, you almost need to expect such things when it comes to public for-profit non-charitable companies whose sole purpose is to sell you a product for monetary gain, they aren't going to send you cake and flowers for your Birthday as they don't care about the indivudual on a personal basis. :P

I wish Microsoft and Sony would take notice of the PC more and especially Steam, which has done some great things for the PC landscape, Valve being a private company not answering to shareholders helps a ton.

Sony has no excuse for their mistakes, but unlike Microsoft they're pushing the consoles in tech and visual nature. Unlike Microsoft its becoming their bread and butter so they will do what it takes to survive where they are strongest.
