Well, seems like it's always the same three or so guys who post their 1-2 liners in these threads just to downplay everything MS does and how it won't help to get back on track and how they lost their war against Sony (don't see Nintendo guys so much in these threads).

I can't take some users serious anymore, that's for sure. At least I can't believe that someone thinks MS really wants to catch up in sales with such a small decision so that the only other option is “I just have to post something negative even if it doesn't make any sense“

MS just tries to make more money like every company does. They obviously know that this won't sell them millions of consoles more.

Especially since none of them post any sort of links to at least try to have a foot to stand on when in a debate. Its all about the sales numbers to them, not the money there making. If your not number 1 on the sales charts, there's no point in competing. Logic and common sense has defiantly bypass some people.

Glad you don't take them for granted.

In all fairness VGC is mostly about UNIT sales, and not generated revenue tracking. Unit sales can be considered a pretty decent metric and same goes for revenue/active user numbers as well. The best is to combine these and try to see the whole picture.

Not taking into account unit sales will result in just as skewed overall market understanding as the one you are complaining about.

OT: it was expected and it seems to be the natural direction that MS takes as of late. They want to offer the services as a one-size-fits-all aproach. Luckily, it seems that as of next gen they will be able to sweeten the deal with some good exclusives as well.
