Microsoft is anti-consumer

No shit.

Reading this back and forth between you guys and thiago is quite funny. I love it when trolls can't just admit they are wrong.

PS: Fanboys are a dying breed. Please cease any plans of reproducing (like you had a chance to begin with) so one day the world will be a better place. A fanboy-free world. :P

I simply adore Microsoft and its policies , I wish that I could be employed by Microsoft in future  , I think Xbox 360 and its accessories are all quality products , Xbox-Live  rules , and you my friend :

Get outta here!!!

The irony is that all of those acting like crazies, unable to counter the idea proposed by the initial post with actual arguments and logic, resorting to name calling, ridiculing and bullying are calling me a "fanboy".

What do you have against the truth? Why are you so defensive? From this barbaric display of lack of logic I can only conclude that many here are part of the most vicious type of fanboy, i.e., those who treat their videogames as if it was some God.

You are taking gaming far too seriously. From the business perspective Microsoft is anti-consumer because those who should choose what games they will play are the consumers themselves, and if that happened the market would be functioning as it should. Buying exclusivities is taking the choice from the consumer, thus artificially changing the market for the purpose of establishing a monopoly.

just to clarify you're saying that microsoft, why?, and how?
