M$

Subject: M$ Thu Jul 08, 2010 12:48 pm

While i have no ties to Microsoft or even like them, I just like their console, why do people label them "M$"?

What do you think Sony do to get exclusive deals? Offer coffee and cake? Laughing

I'm starting a YouTube channel next week, with a few guests (ones a sexy female Shocked

) and its going
to be about gaming in general not just 360, although you can bet penis3 fanboys will complain when
they see a couple of things especially Playstation minus sorry plus

Microsoft takes is market very serious.

In terms of gaming i don't mind. Like you, i also like the console and the deals like the one with GTA IV are great for XB360 owners.

The other side is the PC world like Explorer and Windows and shit like that. They have like what? Almost all of the market? They fought a bunch of legal wars against other companies and stuff. People fear that Microsoft can suffocate the PC industry and not let other companies expand.

In the end i dunno and i don't honestly' care. Its not my deparment. Had Windows all my life and never really had any big problems. I don't like Macs very much.

Either way, read this if you care:

I just put M$ cuz i'm used to. Its what most of the people does, XB360 fanboys or not. Just following tradition.

In the end is not that Sony is running a charity or anything. They also want money.
The thing is that the market Sony makes bussiness is way more competitive.

Music, Movies, Videogames, TV's and the list goes on and on.

People use the "$" in M$ to symbolise their greed. But they have gotten a lot better over the past few years.

Sony creates tons more revenue than MS yearly. It's a misconception that Microsoft is rich because Bill Gates was once the richest man on Earth.

The XBL fees are what gives Microsoft the money to pay off the bandwidth costs for XBL and to manage a stable online service. It also gets us cool features like Cross Game Chat and voice messaging because of the extra bandwidth.

What's Sony's motive to bring every feature that XBL has to PSN? Nothing unless they make people pay for those features.

Exactly, and we pay for better servers for updates and downloads. Thats why updates are so quick on XBL and so slow on PSN.

Well Sony has their hands in a lot of industries, like computers, TV's, they own Universal or some studio like that, and a bunch of other electronics. I wouldnt doubt that Sony has more money.

Isn't Columbia/Universal also the 2nd biggest film company in the world, behind 20th Century Fox?

Microsoft only have a few core revenue earnings assets and those are Windows, Office and Entertainment devices such as XBOX 360, XBOX Live and Zune. Compared to the shitloads that Sony has.

Yeah, Sony has their hand in pretty much every thing to do with electronics, from video games to film.
