Microsoft gives market share against PlayStation

[Machiavellian]

Investors have no say in how MS spends their money. They have never had a say in how MS spends their money.

Also in the bigger picture, there is nothing in the short term that MS can do that will impact Sony. Sony dominance is there because they have successfully made much better decisions than MS over the years and their brand loyalty around the world. Sony would need to severely screw up in order for MS to make any real penetration in Sony market dominance. MS always have the option to spend as much money as they want to secure developers out their so this belief that this will make a real dent I do not believe is will happen. MS best bet has always been to shake up the industry and carve out their own section instead of fighting a losing battle to out muscle Sony.
