Utterly ridiculous. Exclusives are the main selling point for consoles. Remove them and expect your console to fail. This is a self destructive move and MS will soon realise it when they look at their sales figures.

Sales figures = 83 million Xbox 360's.

I don't know, seems to have worked out ok?

Yeah but, how much money did they make off those 83 million consoles? Next to nothing.

Next to nothing... compared to other things MS does. At this point it seems like game consoles are just a vehicle to push other products. Game consoles don't appear to be as pofitable as they once were. Sony and Nintendo give me that impression.

Anyhow, your response wasn't relevant.

How is not relevent? He asked if Xbox worked out ok for Microsoft and I said no because in fact have actually lost money on to point some people in the company want it gone or at least spun off to its own company. Sony actually makes a lot of money from gaming consoles as evident from their Q1 finanical report. With Nintendo, with the exception of Wii U they generally make a big profit off their consoles.
