Well yes, thats exactly whats happening.

 

Microsoft is what is stopping sony from its "dominance" over the gaming market.

Whats going on? Well were to begin.

They have stolen every single game that was considered a playstation franchise developed by any 3rd party studio(yes stolen, Im so sure that SQUARE didnt decide to release STAR OCEAN 4 a massive RPG on the XBOX 360 exclusively all by themselves)

They have made sony gain a terrible image in the gaming industry

They have tricked consumers into thinking the XBOX 360 is the superior machine, because the original XBOX was better hardware wise

They created the catch phrase "Wii60"

They have dropped the price to MASS MARKET price, even though that might have but them in the red.

All I know is, Microsoft wants SONY out of the gaming industry, that has since been there goal since the original XBOX, and im sure they will offer 2-3billion dollars of losses for that to happen.

Buisness is buisness, and guess what, cheating is the perfect way to win.

 

This is normal operating procedure for Microsoft.  I seriously don't understand why people think Microsoft's practices would have been any different in the console market then any other market.

Some of the practices were similar to what Sony did to Sega, but Microsoft is on another level...

Some of it was fair competition, and clever strategy.  The biggest problem I have with Microsoft is they seriously do it to not only attempt to get the best market share as a friendly rival, but the do seriously do try to drive their competition out of business.  The do not simply use a companies weakness against them, such as high price and weak library, they use it to crush them...  by undercutting the cost even further, and buying exclusives away.

 

Microsoft is being nice right now. They aren't a company that you can allow the learn how a new market works. Sony needed to keep them wet behind the ears and keep them weak, but they got arrogant. Microsoft ace carded them with their own gameplan. Sony may be evil, but Microsoft is twice as evil and dominant. Right now they are playing nice until they have reached full power.

Wtf is this a battle? O_o

 

Restate the question so I may respond properly. :)

Wall Street Journal Interview with Square Enix Quote: "We don't want the PlayStation 3 to be the overwhelming loser, so we want to support them. But we don't want them to be the overwhelming winner either, so we can't support them too much."

 

 

You do know Square was a Nintendo exclusive before Sony right?


I remember people making the $ame complaint about $ony and GTA3 when everyone on PC and Xbox wanted to play it, but I guess that was ok.

Its called Console WAR,not console get to gether and have some tea,a quote comes to mind,If you cant take the heat get the heck out of the kitchen.

 

Some people treat it as a race, and others treat it as a war.  It's one thing to be eating someones dust in a race, it's another to have someone take a pause and intentionally kick dust in the other person's face...

Yeah I remember that. I also remember when Sony paid up the ass to keep all GTA games under PS3 lockdown for 4 years. This included GTA 3 and Vice city. The Xbox got a little bitch double game set of GTA 3/Vice city and no one bought it because they were forced to buy PS2's. The Xbox run last gen was terrible, lmao.

Leo-j, you're being overly dramatic.

Chill out some.

 

I'd have to go with this.

 

I still believe Sony can pull it's way through.

@skeezer
Youre talking about this gen alone, and still theres a "maybe" there. Imagine MS coming back even more strongly the next gen, even more aggressive than they are now. I doubt Sony can weather that kind of an assault over a long period of time

even with craptastic launch,it survived, it was supposed to die, and now games like valkyria chronicles, are appearing on it's system, it may not sold the most, but from the gamer perspective they did amazing job turning things around considering their crappy position from one year ago.

I love reading the PS fanboys and MS fanboys duke it out Just because they want to get 2nd place this gen, it's awesome, keep going guys i need more entertainment, I'm bored =/



mrstickball on 13 November 2008

So you expect a company to get so smug, so inconsiderate of their userbase that they put out a system that is TWICE THE COST of the closest system, and expect not to get manhandled?

A console isn't a computer. It's an entertainment device - What was the last entertainment device that cost $600 that did well?

Sony deserves getting manhandled by Microsoft and Nintendo - Neither system is arrogant about their system (for now), and is doing their best to gain audiences - not Sony, though.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
