MS annoys me because they got into gaming to try and pull a fast one on consumers by switching in a media box when we thought it was a game system (They even said this was the point of Xbox around the release of the first one).
Just like the Zune, Surface, and Games For Windows they are trying to leech off a market they played no part in creating. Again, they admit this when they said "We joined the console race to stop Sony from taking it over."
That's literally it. Not to make great games. Not to try anything new. Just to leech off of Sony's market share and implement anti-competitive clauses.
Prediction for console Lifetime sales:
Wii:100-120 million, PS3:80-110 million, 360:70-100 million
[Prediction Made 11/5/2009]
3DS: 65m, PSV: 22m, Wii U: 18-22m, PS4: 80-120m, X1: 35-55m
I gauruntee the PS5 comes out after only 5-6 years after the launch of the PS4.
