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

Kantor on 26 April 2009

Well, I would be dreaming, so I would be asleep, so I would be happy.

But then, it wouldn't be a good dream, so no, I wouldn't.

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?

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.

 

 

 

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

 

20 million subscribers COMBINED...

 

Is that supposed to be impressive? Sony had over 120+ Million user base last generation.

No Microsoft would be silly to get involved.

LOL! Yeah, because having a slight lead despite a year head start is all so comfortable.

Let's just forget the fact that Sony DOMINATED the past 2 generations

I wasn't actually talking about the 8+ million lead (which is more than slight)

and true enough they dominated past gens ...

It would be awsome if microsoft and sony made a console together and signed nintendo on as a second party developer.

Not really happy although I also don't particularly care. Sony doing hardware at least suits me since I hate 360's looks, controller and noise, OS I couldn't care less about as long as it gets the job done, online I don't use often (and I'd never use if it was still paid).

So much for the console, as for the games 3rd parties is where it is at for me.

Will never happen and I dont want it to happen.

Would be an epic console...

But no. I like competition, brings awesome games and unique experiences.

I'd be happy. MS to provide the online and software, along with some of their IP's... Sony will do the hardware and add a shitload of their games... no problems with exclusives and someone buying someone else off too. But nor Sony nor MS want to share the market, so no.
