Microsoft's Xbox initiatives provide competition to lots of companies. If I think that more competition benefits everyone (in your strange terminology - if I don't trust them without competition) then I just shouldn't support anyone in the industry then according to your silly made up platitude? Heck, maybe the reason why I don't support Microsoft is because I don't trust them. Are you happy now? |
I have read your post. You can disguise what you are saying all you want. You mention competition and Xboxs direct competitor in the hardware market is PS. What else do you mean by competition in the console space? Neo Geo?
If you don't trust Xbox great, then you are okay with seeing them exit the console hardware, it doesn't affect you. Sony will look after you.

You think PS4 and Sony come out praising used games and a $400 price tag if MS doesn't fuck up? Any billion dollar corp would take full advantage of consumers if they have no competition. For me. 360 was the last console MS made that was interesting. They have done such a poor job making games that are that interesting and a piss poor job having consitent releases at all in the past decade. |
Its not up to MS to bleed billions just to keep Sony from stuffing up. MS investors are seeing this and its literally dumb to be in the console market when they can sell more software on other hardware.
If you don't like Xbox and its games than you lose nothing. This is the reason they will pull and just focus on releasing games as a publisher.

I personally suspect it might just have something to do with the title of this thread saying 'Do we really need Xbox?', which is us-centric instead of MS-centric. Anyway, we need Xbox to keep competition healthy, but that's not a real need. |
Ill say it again, its not up to MS to bleed billions to keep Sony in check. Someone else can enter the market and do that.
