Forums - Gaming - IS Microsoft really that desperate right now? (X remote/Wiifit rip off)

yushire on 09 May 2008

Do Microsoft really win with that strategy? I like the 360 more when Peter Moore was in Microsoft, the 360 even with the RROD thing still plaguing gamers and spent micrsoft 1 billion to take the problem away, they handle their business strategy very well. Anyone knows about the incident that GTA IV will be multiplatform because of his tattoo? And what about Assasin's creed? Its a PS3 exclusive before but it became multiplatform. Its because of Peter Moore why these things happen. But look at the situation is the 360 right now after they kick out Peter Moore, total mess! PS3 will be in the lead of the 360 and theres nothing Microsoft can do about it.

Er yer whatever ? and Atari invented the joypad so I suppose all 3 console manufactures are ripping that off to right ?, then there is keyboards and the mouse etc etc,  as for everything else you said you can say exactly the same thing about Nintendos messups (game cube etc) and Sonys messups PS2 DVD drive failure rates, PS3 launch pricing etc, at least MS have the excuse of being the new boy on the block so are still on a learning curve..

 

So WHY the negative MS post ?....

I'll admit the 360mote is sad and sickening, game companies should stick to what their system is best at. Xbox - HD console with online and large software library, wii - control interactivity with wonderful games , ps3 - blu ray and with great HD games.

Err what was the point of that post?

@Marcus. Generally companies are slightly more subtle than to change their control scheme halfway through a generation. Largely because peripherals such as the rumored X-Mote have never got a large market share in the past.

No they're not. Actually if they pull it off, Sony wont be able to pass them this gen.
