You made it sound like it was solely to stop Sony.
That ridiculous.

They seen what game consoles and the market was becoming and could become and how that suited their business which is the exact same thing Sony did.

It doesn't make them a bad company for looking to expand their buisness the way Sony did.
Also if you enter a new venture and don't set your sights on toppling the current king then you will fail and no-one will take you seriously.

Didnt SCE post a overall profit for Q4 2008? So doesnt that mean they'll profit now as well?

But the point isn't neccessarily to stop just Sony thats not what I'm saying I'm just using them because they were the market leader at the time of MS entering the console business. My point is that it was to protect the PC more than anything else is all. I'm sure they want to see the xbox succeed I'm just saying they want the PC to succeed MUCH more since thats where 90% of the compaies value is.

I agree with that wholeheartedly.

but thats not what you said.
Like I said it sounded like you was saying they did it only to stop Sony and that sounded like typical PS fanboy retelling of history to portray MS as evil.

when you say
"you do realize that MS could care less about posting a profit right? Sure they would love to have one but their number one mission is simply to stop Sony."

You can see why I would think that.

you did sound like a fanboy and talking complete nonsense.
twisting and spinning.
Also you was talking about now then changed it to why they entered the market.
Their number one mission is to make money. Market share and being number one comes with that afterwards, it is not to beat sony.

believe it or not some business aquire debt to lower ta

believe it or not some business aquire debt to lower taxable income. palm forever reinvested every nickle and kept profits low not great for the investor.

but keeps revenues from being taxed.

but honestly Sony and MS can handle the losses Ninty doesnt have other sources of income losses like these to them would make them sega.

which would be horrible for gamers.

The loss is in the Microsoft Entertainment & Devices Division which includes Xbox, Zune, Windows Mobile and more. Get your facts straight and stop being such a fucking fanboy OP.

Pay attention DIPSHIT.

Before $199 pricedrop - 360 profitable, being outsold by PS3.

After $199 pricedrop - 360 NOT profitable, outselling PS3.

SO FUCKING SIMPLE, YET YOU BOTH STRUGGLE SO HARD.

FACT: I NEVER said that PS3 outsold 360 for all of 2008. I DID say they outsold it for several months during 2008.

FACT: AGAIN, I CLEARLY stated that 360 made a PROFIT in 2008.

Tyig  attempted to say I'm wrong by agreeing with me which is absurd and idiotic to say the least.

If you 2 morons can't get that through your heads, that's not my problem.

"You assume way too much and jump to radically emotion responses to others proof of your wrongness.  Fanboy syndrom at its finest." - this is some of the worst grammar I've seen in a while

I admit that some of my post is based on my speculation, but there are many facts in it as well.

You 2 seem to have a SERIOUS problem with reading comprehension. You have both made absolute fools out of yourselves.

And go ahead and ban me, then I won't be able to stain myself with the idiocy that plagues these forums.

Come on dude, you're gonna insist on this?You're embarassing yourself..

it's been two years since 12/23/2008? How long did I sleep last night?
