| Intrinsic said: There si something very very wrong with the way your mind works. I honestly can't tell if you are serious or if ur really that far gone. MS didn't care? Sony "bought" second place? lol.... I guess I have really heard it all. Anyways, MS losing today is cause somewheer during the life of the 360, they forgot that they XBOX was supposed to be a games console. Then made the XO with that new vision of the xbox brand they had in their heads. It backfired. |
The thing some people don't understand is that all companies try to "buy" 1st place each generation. When I say "buy", it really means investing money into a product and vision, and hope that the consumers buy into them. Why some people grossly overreact to this fact baffles me immensley.
However, not all companies are the same and some will resort to unethical practices. Rather than bolstering their own products, they would sabatoge their competitors' (e.g. parity clause). Even when they bolster their own products, they do so through draconian policies (e.g. Rare being relegated to Kinect software only). This is why MS tends to be blamed more often than Sony (note that I'm NOT saying that Sony is blameless) for trying to "buy" 2nd place. Heck, some of the tactics MS used last gen are still practiced now in some shape or form (e.g. ID@Xbox).
