[QUOTE="bavelb, post: 75863, member: 358"] Because their focus and interest clearly isnt in bringing us the best games possible. They want a jack of all trades. It's likely that thats where the money is, and as a business it might be the smarter deal. I still get to pay for all those features I don't want, including kinect and 3 GB of RAM thats going into multitasking that I won't use. So for likely the same amount of money I get 8 GB of DDR5 instead of 5 GB of DDR3 and a GPU thats 150% the performance of MS's. Plus support from a company that more clearly has the interest of gamers at heart (because they HAVE to). But it would be cheaper by a bigger margin. Let me reitterate: from a business point of view this is likely the BEST MS can do to turn the biggest profit (IF they pull it of in this day and age of more and more people disconnecting their cables and going streaming/TV-a-la-Cart) possible. But as a gamer, I want the company that specializes in that. Compare it to a retailoutlet: Wallmart, Tesco's and Mediamarkt (european store) turn much bigger profits than specialized gamestores (onj-or offline). Yet I have more fun shopping at a smaller gameshop. [/QUOTE]
