From what I heard MS wanted to partner with Sony to make the OS on PS2, but Sony shunned them. So MS fearing that the sucess of the console could threaten their OS domination (by pushing PCs out of the screen) started Xbox... There were some threads about it here...

Thanks, it's quite interesting to see how and why companies got into the console business.


Yes... if company weren't greedy and wanting all the market and benefits to themselves we would have a HW dev by Sony, a OS dev by MS and 1st parties by Nintendo... a "perfect" but boring console and a big monopoly.

Thank god they like to fight out.
