with all the success MS has been having why did they close down ACES Game studio, Ensemble, and FASA?

Lol "I'm PC". M$ fighting back against people slamming them imo. Lost and the damed outsells KZ 2 at half the price and has been on sale for 3x as long. It's as if Ford started saying "Look the Model T sold more then the 2009 Civic".

You should remember that L&T is DLC and it requires: Full GTA IV game, Network and Live connection and HDD to work. Killzone 2 did sell 360k in first two days, 170k in second week and 66k in third week so difference in 3 weeks sales shouldn't be that big between L&T and Killzone 2.

What are you talking about? MS outsells Apple every year because they're a SOFTWARE company, not hardware. MS is outselling Sony too. However, all of these companies do this. Do you remember those horrid Mac commercials? 90% of it was lies insulting PC owners/MS, yet that's okay? Seriously? And Sony bashed MS on several occasions. As a matter of fact, Sony once said the only good thing about the 360 is it's price; however, they trying to turn psn like xbl, lol. All companies do this, and I wouldn't bash any one company.

Why should MS be desperate? They are winning against Sony right now. No matter how this generation ends, Nintendo and MS will be the winner and Sony the loser. Even if the PS3 surpass the Xbox360, which is unlikely, MS still wins, regarding where both companies came from. Nintendo is out of reach for both.

For the past year 2008 Windows Mobile had a market share of 11.8%, while Apple had 8.2%. Nokia rules with 52,4%. That is not that bad, considering that MS never build a phone.

So why should MS be desperate? I don't get why people try to say MS is doomed. To me, they seem to have a very nice future.

Windows 7 had a great feedback so far, the beta was a success. Xbox Live and Video on Demand is getting bigger and bigger, Windows Live Messenger is very successful etc. Actually, there is no product that is not successful, except the zune :D

So,losing lead and losing billions means you are winner? There is only ONE winner in every generation and that's the company who SOLD THE MOST.

And you might wanna know microsoft lost 6 billion on xbox brand.

And nobody ever said MS is doomed. ''Sony is doomed'' is much more popular sentence

What a tool.

Of course KZ2 sold less than GTA: TLaD... First off, it's triple the price, and secondly, it's an expansion for a game that sold 6 million units on their console.

I'm sure in the 2 days KZ2 was out, it doubled-tripled revenue from TLaD... lol.
