LOL look at this guy. Sony's games division has mad money. LOTS of money on the PS2 and PS. Now that its just released the PS3 it is losing money in the 100 millions but they are on the way to making money. They are nowhere around the amount that MS is losing which is in the BILLIONS. And you tell me they are bleeding more than MS? Wow jus wow. Even though this is a 360 forum that just cant stand. YOU need to check YOUR facts. Anyway, this isnt about the playstation and sony. The fact fo the matter is that MS never should have entered the console gaming arena, it was a bad move for them They try and dip in to everything. The ipod is still crushing the zune. They need to focus on windows, and i think that once Vista picks up its steam in the next year or 2, the xbox will be abandoned and Games for Windows live will have like 80-90% of the companies games division resources if not 100%. I do not see a 3rd generation xbox on the rise.
Even if Microsoft does drop out, so what. I dont understand why people are always like "Microsoft should have never entered the console gaming arena." Why not, did you get physically injured by the Xbox, is it any hair off of your back? The Xbox has had quality titles and Xbox Live is a great network. I'm a gamer, I shouldn't have to care about who's making money and what a companies plan is for next gen. All I care about is which games are good and what I need to play them.
And to address your other statement, the Zune is also a great product.
Hey man im a gamer too, thats why i frequent this site. If doesnt leave, good they better continue to support the 360 and not shaft it liek the xbox tho. But what wwe are talking about in this forum right now is their business practices and predictions for the next gen, and with that at hand to give the best possible opinion i need to drop all gaming preferences and just look at the industry. And doind that you cant deny that what they did was a mistake. Am i wrong man?
i just honestly think, as i stated earlier, that you guys need to give this time to grow. the only reason it seems the xbox has such a great debt racked up is because every other division of microsoft has products that people NEED, with the exception of games for windows. Xbox 360 is a recreational product, whereas microsoft's OS's are needed to run any business and most home pc's, office is pretty much the standard of any business documentation nowadays unless you use a specific program for your business, and their other computer peripherals people buy in droves because you need mouses, keyboards, headsets, etc. Games for windows is also biased to beat the living hell out of the xbox is sales because the pc has such a huge built in market. People who enjoy console gaming and are willing to spend the money on it will, but for the others, they will buy pc games because they already have the equipment. Lastly, the fact that microsoft hasn't come out with a portable GAMING console doesn't help. as you can see with the psp and ds, they are huge hits (personally i love the psp its a great pick up and play gaming system), and the fact that microsoft hasnt delved any into this market is just outrageous. (also, please take what im saying with a grain of salt because im speaking mostly in generalities, as it would take far too long to cover every type of gamer in the market)
