Default *gasp* MS wants half of console market

Quote:
MICROSOFT WANTS to gain half or the console market. That is the plan but you have to remember that it has nasty Sony to cope with.

Microsoft announced that it will ship its Xbox 360 console before Yule and it announced that it will release its console worldwide.

We know it's going to have some nice hardware and that Microsoft is very good at convincing big publisher houses to produce games for it. We talked to knowledgeable people and learned that Microsoft is more aggressive than ever before and wants to grab as much market as possible.

Playstation 3 will come roughly a quarter later, but many people will wait for it as people wants Playstation. This console has enormous popularity and we predict that it won’t be easy for Microsoft to fight it.
I never saw that coming!

nasty Sony? Did someone write this in a blog or something? No official news source would ever say that.


*wants to hear that IGN wrote it*

That just sounds like some dumb kid talking about videogames who truly has no idea what he's talking about and a failure to grasp the english language.

Bad grammar, bad sentence structures...... and calling Sony nasty..... this kid works for the Inquirer?

I don't care if people call Sony whatever, but this guy is a professional.... or so we think.

Microsoft can't go halfway in one generation. This generation it was a tight nit battle w/ Nintendo for 2nd, and Sony took a huge chunk of the market. Microsoft if anything, will jump to a clear 2nd.... but it will not split it with Sony, and Sony won't let them.

Sony has JUST RECENTLY peaked 1.88 billion... thats the sum of all Playstation merchandise (PSX, PS2, PSX Games, PS2 Games)

..... no way Microsoft will pull off 1 billion Consoles.
