Microsoft wasn't trying to bully anyone if you ask me. They took on a task that was next to impossible. Trying to overthrow SONY. They likely knew they'd be in for a long, long haul before they actually saw any financial gain. It's unfortunate that the 360s have been having such problems because it started to look like MS was gaining ground. But, as long as they finish out the 360's lifespan properly they'll likely start to see some profit. And by the next round of consoles they'll likely have enough of a foothold on the console industry to start making money right out of the gate. As long as they don't repeat the red ring of death mistake.

I don't know why so many people are mad at MS for entering the console war. It makes everyone work harder and create better games. Just think if SONY and MS had never gotten into it. We'd all be playing really crappy games on the Wii right now and nothing else.
