They just don't want to lose to Sony and they have Phil Spencer who will actually humble himself if need be. They have a paranoia about being behind Sony which is why they compromised the quality of the 360 knowing the development was not complete. If that had been anyone else in MS may god help us all.


Are you really putting a negative spin on being competitive? They aren't just competitive with Sony.

Sony didn't want to be behind MS either, which is why they lost billions getting PS3 off the ground.


No. MS is actually paranoid about coming second to Sony in any way shape or form which is why anytime you see Sony make a move MS responds.  When the 360 launched a year ahead did Sony respond? No. They waited until the hardware was ready. Phil Spencer might be a nice guy but Microsofts reasoning is not healthy at all. There is no spin, just accept the company as they are.

Microsoft insiders came out twice about Microsoft:

1. The old vice president about why Microsoft even joined the idustry.

2. The reason why the 360 was rushed while knowing the R&D wasn't complete to beat Sony a year ahead to market.

It was always because of Sony, never Nintendo and always because of either some competitiveness or vendetta for Sony not wanting to partner with them.
