There are other reasons to respect or not respect a corporation other than simply hardware reliability. Everyone that complains on Microsoft's monopoly seems to conveiently forget how Nintendo strong armed third parties into exclusivity contracts in the 1990s. Why do you think almost every third party jumped into Sony's arms the first chance they got? There's also that report that came out last year showing Nintendo's abysmal envionmental practices with disposing of waste. Didn't they score a 1 out of 10 or something? How about Sony shutting down that internet site Lik Sang or something just because they sold Japanese PSPs to Europeans? Also Sony doesn't always have grade A technology and you would know that if you owned any of their consoles other than the PS3. Both the PSOne and PS2 came with issues, and I don't remember getting any extended warranty when my PS2 laser had to be realigned because Sony allowed third parties to create different weighted DVDs that screwed with the alignment, like blue ones, gold ones and silver ones. How about Sony's inability to reach a conclusion with Immersion, causing them to lie about rumble's exclusion in the Sixaxis, which in the end, put more money in Sony's pocket and pissed off gamer's that now felt they needed controller replacements. The point is, none of them are shining beacons of honesty and good practices. They all have faults, so either respect them all with their faults, or don't respect any of them. In their gaming divisions I think Microsoft is trying the hardest at getting a great library for 360 owners, by any means necessary. That's all that matters to me is the games, and they've delivered again and again.

Both my Playstation and my Playstation 2 works to this very day.
Also, thats up the the individual
Actually it seems more like they are trying to stop sony more than anything. Otherwise why would they buy all the japanese RPGs concidering the 360 is doing the worst in japan ?
Honestly i think nintendo also screws their customers in many ways. And even Sony does it in some ways aswell..
But the worst is (IMO) undoubtfully Microsoft... but again thats just my opinion.
