Myth:  Microsoft was the one that started making us pay for online gaming

Dreamarena was free.

Myth:  Microsoft made it okay to launch a console with faulty hardware

"Also suffered" is grossly missleading. Neither the PS1's nor PS2's fail rates were ever comparable.

Myth:  Microsoft ruined the industry with their exclusivity deals

Again missleading. MS "ruined" or better hindered part of the industry by making games exclusive that were quite simply not selling on the platform. Outside of well known Japanese titles, I think exclusivity also proved out to be a mistake for Alan Wake as well.

 

Dreamarena being free doesn't make SegaNet non existent.  What kind of argument is that?

And even if (as you say) the Playstation's failure rate isn't comparable, it also existed.  It was a class action lawsuit.  I'm not making this stuff up.  Google it.  Hell, I treat my consoles like royalty.  I personally went through two PS1's and 3 PS2's.
