Sony's playbook? Doubt Microsoft is looking to lose money on their gaming division...

LOL So they didnt follow Sony on the DRM Policies? The dropping of third party app usage from Xbox Live? The price point? Creating Games for Gold because of the value Playstation Plus brings to gamers? 

Oh wait no. Of course you have to cut Sony down even though they are actually helping the cause of the xbox gamer by helping show Microsoft how to please gamers. I tell you if Sony ever died you guys would see what the world would be like with just Microsoft running shit against Nintendo. It would be the least creative times ever and would there would be so much nickel and diming it wouldnt even be funny. Without Sony to teach them right from wrong, this gen could've been such a monsterious fail for Microsoft even for the most ardent Xbox believer.

How quickly you seem to forget Sony's attitude in the beginning of last generation. MS coming into the console race did a lot for gamers. Options give real gamers more choices and competition is great for innovation and value. You should really start considering that.

Sony took a risk to save a format and allow their Blu Ray board to profit. Blu Rays rate was in their hands and they took the dive. I am sure they are recieving some sort of compensation for not only being the lead group for it but spear heading the initiative. The PS3 did the work and Samsung and all the other brands rode on the wave. 

Microsofts intro into the console race only brought PC gaming to consoles. Microsoft hasnt made a game themselves that was worth a damn outside of Crackdown, Fable, Forza and Project Gotham. Halo would've existed without them, Gears would've existed without them and PC games were already starting to make their way to console gaming since the PS1/N64 era. Microsoft taught Sony and Sega how to create what they've always been wanting to create for years. A online gaming os thats closed and unified to create a community. Thats Microsofts claim to fame...OS software. They were doing that for Sega before they even joined the industry.

Sony made them squirm because they threatend the PC market with the PS1. Outside of the online respect, Microsoft is trying to basically replace everything that makes Sony what they are in front of the western gamer. Problem is they are extremely dependent on third party to accomplish this.
