Game.com: The Handheld That Ruined Your Favorite Games

Your point has validity in life…
But in this case, Microsoft brought more marketing, good and viral attack marketing, than anything else related to gaming.
They went over a decade not making a single new AAA ip.
What “competition” are they bringing to push competitors?
I mean, you say “less innovation” yet Sony had to dumb down their console engineering to play ball with Microsoft and their strangle hold on computing,
Sony, for worse, had to compete against the perception of Microsoft through their marketing dominance.
They forced Sony into third party deals because Microsoft was monopolizing the market through third party games.

What, exactly, is Microsoft bringing to the table?
Basic x86 architecture?
Catch phrases?
Generic games?
Subscriptions?
False marketing?
Corrupt marketing tactics?
Faulty hardware?

I can see Sony not having to spend millions to combat Microsoft’s false image of being a gaming company and put more money into developing games.
