Microsoft Will Focus Primarily On Xbox Live Usership, Not Console Shipments

I said one HW standard, not monopoly of Marketplace or even servers... and how is it no competition if the 3 agree on the standard?

Yeeeehhhh the so horrible PS3, they though they were so undefeatable that they decided to lose 200 per HW just so they could abuse the customers.

You said Playstation as standard... Playstation is more than hardware. Good luck having Sony release a standard console and allowing Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo to all design their own marketplaces for the console that you could swap between. But why would Sony ever agree to allowing Microsoft and Nintendo to put their services on their own console? They are the market leader. All you could possibly see is Microsoft and Nintendo end up third party putting their games ON Sony's service. And no thanks to that.

As a consumer why do I care what Sony is losing per unit sold? All I care about is what they are charging me, and what I get for that price. Thankfully they fixed that.

because they would have royalties from the sales made on the system as a role?

Oww so sony is a bad company when dominating because they charged you too much for what you wanted to pay, no matter it was underpriced... ok understand. Guess Ferrari if was taking a loss would also be very bad for its customer because there are people that think it's still too high. You compare MS anti-customer decisions to Sony pricy console, yeah those are really up on the same ballpark, and PS2 dominating a lot was surely very bad for customers.
