Just because they don't focus on Hardware like Sony and Nintendo, doesn't mean they just throw all there games away to there competitors. MS is a Business just like Sony and Big N who do deals with each other all the time in and outside of gaming. They aren't holding Pom Poms and cheering when they outsell there competitor. They cheer when they make money.

Also link me this Minecraft deal everyone keeps talking about? Because MC is completely owned by MS not shared like Pokémon is to Nintendo. MS own 100% of MC and they can do as they please with it.

Also Minecraft is expandable for MS. They are probably using the sales of Switch and PS4 to help pay off the $2.5b costing price of the franchise that they paid for. 

Eventually if Sony allows Live on PS4 you will see Halo and co on PS4 at the cost of paying for the Live service.

Companies aren't cheerleaders like the fans that follow. There business man and woman aiming to gain as much market as they can. So PS4 MC bundles sold earns MS profit and keeping some exclusives for the Xbox Hardware generates interests in there hardware as well so its a win win situation.  

In other words, if you aren't going to buy MS hardware, they can still make money off there games.

Only problem is Microsoft isn't giving Sony any major games. Sony got the Minecraft deal do e pre MS.

In fairness, XBox 1 owners have the luxury of EA Access. Subscribers wouldn't need to buy FIFA 18.

Jesus the revenue fifa 18 generators on ps4 must dwarf the xb1.

Why is it that you keep saying "in fairness" any time the PS4 is brought up?

It feels like every post I see of yours lately is saying that.  For example "In fairness, the PS4 did not confront the firm competition that the Wii did."

As if people are being "unfair" whenever the Playstation is being brought up.

And when do you think FIFA 18 will rotate into the EA access storage bin? 6 months?

In fairness he doesn't like seeing ps4 take over the world.  

MS is giving PS a major game. Its called Minecraft. 

Link me this deal that MS have to obey since they acquired the franchise .. 

They dont have to release the game on PS4 or even update it. They do it because they want to and its making them money.
