Process First: Pros and Cons of the Busienss Models

[disolitude]

I'm sorry Sky Render...I'm gonna have to call foul on your business model.

For microsoft, the statement of... "Software quality is: on par with third parties overall." - I don't think so.
You said Sony is on par if not slightly higher than 3rd party companies and nintendo is well above par right?

Well I pulled metacritic reviews for all Microsoft, sony and nintendo published games for 360 wii and ps3.

Results are: 360 with 80.0625 average. PS3 with 74.5294 average. Wii with 75.4737. List of games is below.

Therefore please... Microsoft clearly leads in this category....it actually owns it. So I wouldn't say their software is not better than 3rd party games if wii and ps3 are.

Microsoft's business model also includes paying extra money for exclusive content and exclusive software. Something the other 2 companies don't do very often.
