"Microsoft has spent some $2.996bn on Xbox 360 since it launched in 2005, while Sony has fared worse, spending $4.951 billion on PS3. Both figures are a loss"
I have no doubt they both made their money back, especially Xbox since they had Live Subs active at the time. But Hardware is a massive expense, something MS can remove since they have another form of game distribution growing.
I will disagree with you and your Sega analogy. It doesn't matter either way, the 3rd wheel doesn't stay around forever. We have seen many companies come and go constantly within the console space. Xbox is on its 4th generation, just like Sega were when they pulled out.
Your defense of EGS isn't a good one. Your only claim is that EGS offers a superior review system.. Yeah that's not worth the competition to strip games off another service to place them on a inferior one. You can use EGS, ill stick to Steam.
Redfall is a joke but HiFi Rush isn't. So if you are going to hate Xbox for Redfall than you need to praise them for HiFi. You cannot just hate when they do something bad and ignore when they do something good. MS need ABK to insert much needed gaming revenue back into the business. Sony claimed they invest big on their 1st party games based on CoD money so maybe this will entice Xbox to do the same if the deal goes through.
