They only made 1 billion?? Accel Partners made 5.5 bn

How much money did Bono from U2 make?


are you a parody?


Parody of who? I do like to think of myself as an intelligent humble man.

so, you think 1 billion is not much because few other companies who are specialized in investments made more? hmm ok and how many companies not specialized in investments made more than microsoft with facebook shares?

if sony would have made what microsoft made with facebook shares, would you have said the same or would you have said "great news for sony"?

crissindahouse:

Ignore him he's just a troll who hates Microsoft, That's all.


Reported for calling me a troll.

Turkish:

I don't care if i get banned from the website at least i have the balls to call you what you are a troll, Who hates everything that isn't sony.


LOL!!!!

There is a great possibility I wouldve said the latter, since they're in financial trouble a billion or 2 3 wouldn't hurt them.

aha and if sony wouldn't be in trouble you would have said "sony made only 1 billion?". you would have never said that. and i still wonder why 1 billion isn't much just because an investment company made more. i mean, it's not like microsofts job is to invest all money they have in companies. and even if there are few investment companies who made more with their investment (yes, no other software developer made more with facebook shares, only investment firms) microsoft is still one of the biggest winner on the planet if it comes to facebook investments.

HAHAHA omg. You said there was no bad way to spin it and then BOOM! Kowenicki you should see the discussions I was just having with Turkish. See my sig for what went down. I'm 99% sure the guy is a joke account. 

Also I will state if Dark_Cyrus gets banned for calling Turkish what he is then I will leave the site for a year. It's ridiculous that Turkish can get away with the posts he does. Everything he posts are underhanded insults to anything that isn't sony. 

I don't target anything specifically, if you believe I insult something without backing it up then its your problem, you should try to live with other people's opinions. If I don't like something, then so be it. You don't have to bring Sony into every argument, thats just a poor excuse to call me a troll.

 

I love the meltdown and fanatical and impetuous reactions LOL

i wonder if you know how you sound... you talk about "the great sony, the great sony graphics or the great sony exclusives" or "poor microsoft" in almost every post. you report others if they think you are a troll and then you say that people don't need to bring sony into every argument and that different people have different opinions (like his opinion is that you are a... (yeah you know what he said)). he seems not to like you, then so be it...

this makes all absolutely no sense do you know that?

How about investing some of that money and getting much needed exclusive development studios, making new IP's since Halo and Gears won't last forever and bringing some of the few franchises you have back? No?

I'm sorry but I just can't stand Microsoft. Sure they are doing well for the moment but they have pretty much set themselves up for failure because they are too content on services and temporary fixes.



DaHuuuuuudge on 18 May 2012

They better sell their stocks quickly before everyone realizes how overvalued they are!

--> Both, Nintendo and MS have more 1st party studios than Sony. MS opened quite a few of them recently so therefore you see quite a few Untitled Projects. I bet they are working on Xbox 720 already. And since MS basically only supports the Xbox platform and not a handheld device (Yeah, 1 Mobile game studio) it is likely that the Xbox 720 has the most 1st party exclusives next gen.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

I hope those studios still support xbox 360 after 720 comes out.
