Did you read the OP?

No, and I don't need to, its an analysis and if somewhere in it, it says Microsoft joined the console race to make Sony go out of business they're wrong. Go and do some research please ...

@ seece.

It dosent say them exact words, but it basicly explains it.
"Microsoft detected this threat and began a defense strategy. This defense strategy is the entire Xbox Franchise. To stop the PlayStation threat, the Xbox Franchise would compete with Sony on the battleground of gaming."

In other words... put SONY out of the business.

LMAO ... no carl NO ... :O honestly where do you get this stuff from ...

Sony are more than video game consoles ... to put them out of business would require a lot more than what Microsoft ever had planned. They wanted to make sure Sony didn't take over the living room and/or PC gaming (whichever articals you read)

But to put Sony out of business ...

DO YOUR RESEARCH.

If I recall correctly...didnt MS admit that???

@ seece.

If you notice in my previous comment i said "the" business.
And we are on a forum... about videogames.
Use common sense and realise im talking about the gaming market... maybe?

"Put Sony out of business" can only be taken one way,

Nothing about common sense more you trying to worm your way out of another stupid comment.

i actually took it the way he intended, but thats just me

Then you must have enough common sense to know that im talking about games on a gaming forum.

Thanks you.
