I learned this as a kid. Parents tell you what is good and bad. But when you do them anyway, you actually see the point, and then you truly learn the lesson.

True people really learn better when they make the mistake, specially children. But they arent children working at MS, right?  What if a couple of kids never seen a lion in thir lives before see this big kitty and one of then tryes to pet it and gets their arms riped off, do you think the other one is going to lauff and then try to pet it himself? Hell no, the kid saw the pain and tears of the other one and would cry and run from just seeing it. So even if it did not happen to them buisness men that are suposed to know the market and study peoples reaction to the competition should know not to make the mistakes of your enemy.

How about this for the adults wich has a little less gore,  a friend go buys chinese food at a restaurant and your friend opens his food and is full of live bugs, will you ever go buy food at that restaurant? No, you would never visit that restaurant and wright complains with you friend. 

Or how about the romans made the mistake of using led for everything and got poisoned from it, do you think it cant happen to you and use lead yourself like makeup? No, you would not.

The quote "if you dont learn from history your doom to repeat it" is meant so we could learn from others mistake that could even have been comited over 100 years before you where born. Like science, you build on others achivements to move foward, cuz if you start from scrach eveery time we would have nothing today. Comparing what I said to your children was just so silly, that I barely held it toghether to not insult someone.

Actually corporations are like children.  To many people and not all of them have the experience to know when something is right or wrong.  Most times its because corporations try to dictate the market and they believe that have a graphs of what consumers will tolerate.  This was Sony at the beginning of last gen.  Coming off the success of the PS2, they felt consumers would just buy whatever they made at whatever cost.  They felt they controled the market and found out real quick that they were way to high on the horse to see the little people.

@BOLDED:  You know there are countless videos of people doing exactly such dumb crap and most are from adults.  Hell there is this one video where this man is filming lions after a hunt.  He gets out the car, creeps closer to the pride to get that magical shot only to not see the female lion in the bushes before its all too late.

So you telling me that ms witnesing sony failed after the huge succes of the ps2 was, wich dominated every market around the world, still decided to act so arrogant to try to force these policies even after coming from a defeat in last place from the previous generation is something everybody does? And they should also be forgiven? That does not sound like a smart move to me.

At the second part: Do you belive that was a smart move? Are you saying since idiots online do stupid stuff its ok for a world leader like ms to do stupid stuff and after it fails we should let it go? You know what this sounds to me, survival of the fittest, the guy with the lion did a stupid thin and probably died, now ms did a stupid thing  and the market refused them and now they are probably out of the game. And you know why? Because they refused to learn from history, even if not your history you should still lean something.

People tend to forgive little mistakes like sonys overpriced ps3 after the pricecuts, but what ms did is something that they took away and could at any minute bring it back unlike sony recharging $200 for something you aredy bought. Im not saying that might happen, just is that its a fear that consumers have that wont be soon reliefed.
