Microsoft is only playing the good guy because Sony and Steam have cornered them and they have no choice. Where was this MS the last 2 gens when they were reeling bullish?

Sony should allow cross play but that's it. They've always been open to this. MS only recently came around to it. Again, only because they're cornered and it suits them.

These kinds of posts are great.

So you admit what MS is doing is good for the consumer but complain they are only doing it becasue they are "cornered".

Why does it matter why they are doing it?  Its pro-consumer, its pro-choice and therfore it is good for gamers.  At least admit the truth.

And why do you want Sony to be anti-consumer and not relase all exclusives on PC? 

There is only one answer to the last question that I can think of.

What is this nonsense? Why do you want McDonald's to be anti-consumer and not allow Burger King to make Big Macs. Why do you want Best Buy to be anti-consumer and not allow Wal-Mart to carry Insignia products. Why do you want Microsoft to be anti-consumer and not let Apple stores sell Windows devices? Why do you want Netflix to be anti-consumer and not let Hulu play Orange is the New Black?

If you think exclusive content content is "anti-consumer", then you don't know how capitalism works. Which is funny, because aren't you the guy who got into a brouhaha not too long ago because you thought that you being a business owner made your opinions more valid to whatever discussion you were having (and people, subsequently, called you out on it because owning a business doesn't automatically make you a savant at any and all operations at various companies)? I don't know what your line of business is, but I guess you're "anti-consumer" because you provide some service or product that allows you to stand out from your competition.....but you don't let your competition provide those same benefits. Those products/services are "exclusive" to your business. 

Just as someone pointed out, "pro-consumer" is just a new buzzword, now that you can't give out an exclusives list to defend whatever pro-MS arguments you have.
