Forums - Gaming - Would you be happy if Microsoft and Sony created a console together?

My hate for Sony is gone, due in part to my time here on VG Chartz ..............but I still prefer the Xbox 360 over the Playstation 3, because the games I prefer are on Xbox 360 and I just don't like and have never liked Sony's attitude towards gamers and the gaming industry as a whole, both Microsoft and Sony are using the gaming industry for their own ambitions, but I feel Microsoft respects gamers and the gaming industry, but what if Sony and Microsoft teamed up in the next generation, Microsoft would provide the software and Sony would produce the hardware as they are so good at doing hardware, Playstation consoles alway look the best in my opinion, the console would still be called Playstation, but the OS and Online would be run by Microsoft.

I would personally. 360 and PS3 are so similar as is.

If Sirius and XM can merge and become a better company why not these two?



No.

1. it will never happen
2. competition is good for the fans.
3. xbox doesnt have much to offer me. Gears of War, and thats about it.

Because Sony and Microsoft are 100x bigger than those little companies. Sony and Microsoft have deep histories.

Sirius and XM were both fairly new and going after a smaller market than video games.

Well there would still be competition.
MS and Sony seem to be going the same direction.
Would be less risk for both of them.
Also I would not have to blow money on more consoles.

Good for them and the consumer.

Both have spent billions getting their operations off the ground and have about 20 million subscribers combined.



Considering it completely hypothetical, yes, that would be pretty awesome. And to those saying there would be no competition, ever heard of Nintendo?



"Now, a fun game should always be easy to understand - you should be able to take one look at it and know what you have to do straight away. It should be so well constructed that you can tell at a glance what your goal is and, even if you don’t succeed, you’ll blame yourself rather than the game. Moreover, the people standing around watching the game have also got to be able to enjoy it." - Shiggy

That would be cool....they should call it X-Play!



Being a cricket fan is much simpler and more fun

Microsoft respects gamers and the gaming industry




Ha made me laugh....



Predictions

GT5 will sell 3.2million + first week on ps3 (made 06 March 2010)

FFXIII Versus will have higher Metacritic scores than FFXIII after the first month.... Bet going on with perpride - loser changes sig for a month

KH3 will be PS3 EXCLUSIVE - willing to bet removal from vgchartz for a month


Sony Hardware MS software...doesn't sound like a bad plan

However competition is good for the soul.

Competition has made Sony step up their game this year, so far it ain't looking half bad.

Some folks are complaining that ninty are becoming complacant IMO it's because they are in a league of their own so they can easily put their feet up and count the dough.
