They are a great competitor and bring out the best in sony & nintendo. I want MS to do well enough to stay in the video game market but never dominate it where they could dictate anything. MS has the most anti-consumer policies and they keep trying to force them on us when they aren't even the leading brand in video games. |
True but that's for all companies.
When Nintendo was the leader:
- They didn't want to make another console (the only reason they made the SNES was cause of the Genesis/Mega Drive, otherwise they would have probably just sold the NES til the mid-90s)
- They treated third parties like crap. They were even abusive to them. That's why so many flocked to Sony and considered them a godsend
- They were also arrogant, and instead of CD storage for the N64 they used cartridges
When Sony was the leader:
- $599
That's all that really needs to be said (though I could go on and on about them during the early PS3 years). Microsoft did have anti-consumer policies but they changed those. Sony kept to their $599 price tag and their arrogance though until 2009 when they finally rebranded the PS3.
