They only came into the gaming industry to to take out Sony because they refused to partner with them. They were also working on their own OS and Ms dosent like when other multimedia companies are popular and have their own os, so they sought to destroy the. Joachim keep in who used to be one of the former heads in ms at the time of the Xbox ed creation admitted to this.

Sounds like Sony lol

Sony tried to partner with Nintendo and Nintendo backed out last minute (it was a big mess) so Sony made the Playstation one and well we all know what happened.


Well in a way you could say a feud started the Sony and Nintendo war...but now they aren't feuding. MS and Sony were never feudig in the begining and they were cool with one another...MS just picked the fight because Sony ignored them if we go by what Joachim Kempin says. The Xbox was originally created with good intentions but the head of Microsoft wouldnt sign off on it without a reason. Microsoft is a naturally monopolistic company (which is why they are so powerful). They really have no OS competition on PC. 

Sony had every right to be pissed at Nintendo. They were trying to to get use the services of Ken Kutaragi while he was under contract to Sony to build a CD Rom for the SNES. Sony found out about it and was convinced not to fire him by one of the heads of the corporation. They did business the proper way with Nintendo by making a contract and helping out with the rest and manufacturing the product;.However, when they showed Nintendo the contract Nintendo walked out on them at CES and embarrassed Sony. Sony saw it as a betrayl and so Sony's board was convinced by Kutaragi and his friend who was one of the higher ups in Sony and that gave birth to the Playstation. Yes they wanted revenge, but they got it by naturally dominating the industry.

MS had no beef like Sony and Nintendo did...they just attack whatever seems like a threat. They saw that Sony was dominating so they decided to be partners with them...but according to Kempin Sony has always kept Microsoft at an arms length even though they were cool with them.
