i still dont know why MS wants to beat sony so badly, they arent going to get a huge trophy in the end.

 

Counter-disruption. In other words they get to keep raking in the profits on their PC operating systems.

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

I'm not so sure. Sony are on their knees, Microsoft doesn't need to do that much to stop them any more.

It could also be that Microsoft views Nintendo differently than Malstrom does. The Wii has more potential to disrupt the PC than the PS or PS2 did, the only thing missing is the corporate will to do so. Microsoft could simply misunderstand Nintendo, or be paranoid enough to worry in case Nintendo experiences a change in philosophy in the future. As Malstrom himself has said, a company open to disruption has to be paranoid.

 

Care to explain how an 8M lead equals to Sony being on their knees? If MS even slips a little bit then they could lose their spot before it's all over. Last year Sony had great momentum that was only stopped by MS taking a drastic measure in a price drop. Now if you said the Wii, I would agree but the 360 has Sony on their Knees no they simply don't

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

It doesn't matter how many XBoxes are ahead of Playstations. In this battle all that matters is that Sony's business is not profitable. Much of the work may have been achieved by the Wii rather than the XBox, but if the disrupter isn't profiting that still suits Microsoft.

Next gen, Microsoft will go after Nintendo with the full force of Western PC game developers behind them. The 360 was designed from day one to go after the PS3.

Microsoft will probably win next gen and Western console development will be considered to be in its Golden Age much as Hollywood's Golden Age was considered to come with the rise of studios like Universal and MGM in the 30's and the death of European silent cinema.

MS entered the console business to put SONY out of business.

So far, they are in front... and are doing all they can to make sure 360 keeps its 2nd place.

Next gen, we will probably see a head on attack at Ninty... if they keep this 2nd place.

How uninformed can you get ...

So you wish the Japanese gaming industry to be brought to the ground? After they pretty much saved the inudstry and still contribute a shit load?
