So when PS3 was super expensive and Sony removed the PS2 retrocompatibility, and the other OS, and other ports... was it in order to lower the price so they could be more competitive with 360 or was it just because they had bad intentions like MS?

Sony took away the other OS abilities because and that was a dick move, but thats nothing compared to Microsofts complete existence in the industry. Microsoft rushed the development of the 360 because they were so obsessed with beating Sony to the market and gathering third party before them that they risked giving consumers faulty hardware. At one time it was around 60%. Thats literally the worst disaster in the history of gaming and yet time and time again it is downplayed when its far more serious. Typical hardware failure rates are between 10-15%.

So they lost what 1-2 billions because of RROD, lost a lot of customers, gave away 3years warranty for every consoles sold. What did Sony do with DRE? A big piece of nothing... yep... which is trustworthy? Would you rather MS act like nothing happened like your beloved trustworthy company did? I remember on the rrod fiasco Peter Moore said "Things break!"... he got flamed for saying that but MS still acted accordingly... personaly, making mistakes isn't that bad, not wanting to correct those mistakes is the problem and now imo MS is good at correcting their mistakes... unlike others.

I have no beloved company, but I'd rather have the OS taken out of my PS3 and still have the ability to use it than someone giving me faulty hardware that took five years to fix causing one of the largest failure rates in the history of gaming and electronics, period. I buy my console for the games not the OS.
