Looks like you didn't read my comment 

I did.

I disagreed - I think Microsoft at least WAS necessary to the video game industry.

That's why I asked if you meant they currently are unnecessary (you did use present tense) or if they have always been unnecessary.

The only point I was ever trying to make is that Xbox is not necessary to Microsoft, whereas to Nintendo and Sony games are a necessity(ok the latter is a bit debatable but you understand what I mean). That gives Microsoft a freedom that arguably other companies don't have. I don't know why you're bringing innovation into it.
