They claim innovation but do nothing but buy away their competition, and steal others ideas, and most people dont care eather way. This was my biggest problem with the Xbox entering into the console wars in the first place. MS with there deep pockets, buying excluve games from third party since they cant earn those games on their own merit. Their harware issues is just the icing on the cake and exactly what one should expect from them. Id like to believe that they would finally give up on the consoles in general since they have yet to be profitable in that division.
Having every AAA game also availabel on the PC helps ease any pain for their best exclusives (Bioshock, gears)
Im really ticked wih the paramount thing most of all.

I think the competition is good. Ever wonder what the PS3 would have been like had there been no Xbox? I think the Xbox got Sony to open there eyes just a bit (maybe squint) and see that they had some competition. I think it probably showed a little in the PS3, but they still ignored some key areas (online specifically). Since they are at the bottom of the list this generation and may very well stay there, I think the PS4 will really shine much more and have more innovation.
And as far as Microsoft is concerned, yeah they do take a lot of ideas from others. But their goal is the same in all of thoses cases. Take a decent idea and grow it and make it better. I think they tend to do this pretty well.
Certainly MS showed just how important online gaming is with Xbox live - where do you think online capabilities would have been without this?
