Does MS really deserve praise for "listening" to consumers ??

Funny Sony doesnt seem to have a problem selling their Uncharted series and they have MP to boot and the didnt spend a ton. For every one series that fail (darksiders) we can find one that was successful. Lets not make excuses for these companies frivious spending. Funny you mention Ubi, they MUST be making money on AC otherwise why even make the game annual? Hell they are doing two this year.

Are you kidding me right now?? Uncharted series is AAA games and budgets.... Uncharted 3 cost more then 25 million to develop and there no figure on how much was spent in Marketing.  

you have link to that? where is your proof it cost taht much? and even if it did Sony made money on the game. So my originally point still stands. IF they know how to budget their money they would be fine.

Edit: matter of fact ill do you one better. lets say your number is right. Darksiders 2 cost 50million to make. Twice as much as Uncharted 3. Now what in the hell could be done in that game that they needed 50million to make it. There is no MP its just a straight shoot SP affair. Uncharted 3 didnt cost nearly as much and has MP better visuals hell I would argue it is the better game. So again, BUDGET your money correctly. THQ didnt and look what happened.
