Not Every Xbox Game Will Come to Windows, Says Xbox Boss

Because of XB360, Sony was forced to more competitively price their console and learned that they can't charge whatever they want for home consoles. XB360 also introduced cross-game chat, which Sony now implements. Xbox's online infrastructure also directly inspired the PSN so that the PlayStation brand could compete in the online field. Without Xbox, we'd either be stuck paying out the nose for next-gen consoles, playing on PC, or playing Nintendo.

But you're still mostly with Sony though right?, like with the P1-4?. Without MS Sony wouldn't be where it's at, at the top but even then MS is currently in the middle of nowheresville after 3 gens of "giving" ideas to other competitors. I still see Xbox as being a brand used by others rather than a brand that actually stood up on it's own and won 3 times in a row while giving it;s own ideas and taking  some as well, any ideas that MS took this gen were directly needed to avoid complete annihilation.

I do currently own an OG Xbox, and I've owned five XB360's. Competition breeds innovation, and what I was stating earlier was simply evidence to support that. Without real competition, Sony would stagnate.

Sony would have priced their console cheaper period as the PS4 cost for development was much cheaper than that of the PS3. THe PS3 also outsold the 360 so it did not effect the PS3 sale sin the long run. No one really cares for cross-game chat and that feature was something that was coming regardless. Sony had been improving PSN since last generation and are now better than MS because fans asked for certain features. None of that had anything to do with MS at all. When were we ever stuck paying out the nose for next gen consoles lol? Nothing you said is relevant to why the PS4 is beasting right now.

Sony might not have gone for a lower development cost if they hadn't learned their lesson from MS. And I'm aware that PS3 beat XB360, it was also really close, though. They learn from each other, and as a result make each other better.
