-Micrsoft is a software company, as seen through their recent hardware failures. Sony is a hardware company, as seen in their substandard online platform (which they cannot blame on being behind the 8-ball, as they recognized online gaming as being part of console gaming's future back in the early 2000's). At the end of the day, both have equal access to external software development assets (in fact, by virtue of its vast liquididty assets, Microsoft has the best access), but Microsoft has a huge advantage in terms of internal software development assets. To argue that Sony has a better chance of reducing their OS's RAM dependency because the completely seperately-tasked Vista is 'bloated' is ridiculous in the extreme. |
Your whole software/hardware company argument is flawed. Microsoft being a software company doesn't mean they'll have bad hardware , it's absoloutley absurd to assume tha they would on that basis . The reason why they consistently produce bad hardware is through lack of adequet testing , if MS allocated the resouces to making quality hardware then they'd have quality hardware.
Intelligence,Knowledge,Experience and skills is not something MS posses , it's through their employees that they are able to achieve what they do. If they wanted good hardware they'd employee people with the experience and skills to produce good hardware. You talk about the companies like they where individuals , they're not , they employee their skills they don't posses them directly
.MS is as capable of making good hardware as Sony is good software.
