Don't Xbox360 users relize they need Sony's PS3 more then they think?

Question

Let me start off by saying I own and love all three next gen consoles. I think the Xbox360 is the best but I also really like the PS3. I know many people pick one side and boast about how there system is better. Its still too soon to judge fully what system will be better. But if sony dropped out and never made a PS3 the xbox360 would not be as good. If sony dropped out and never made a Ps2 heck there might not even have been an xbox to begin with. And if there was the lack of competition would have Microsoft makeing a system out of pure laziness. (And in my opinion Microsoft sucks at makeing stable products as it is. Think of the red ring of death or Vista.)

I know Nintendo has contributed as well but if you look at the market its Sony Vs Microsoft. The wii is far to different in games , hardware and playability to have as much of an impact as sony did on the 360.

So if people support Sony and Nintendo even if its just a possitive comment in a blog.

Answer 1

Yes, the companies need the competition to make the final products better for the consumer, but otherwise, overall the consumers drive the product, not the other way around, so if Microsoft was making a totally crappy product, enough consumers complain and they would either make it better, or stop making it all together.

Answer 2

agree, the only drawback of this quicker and more advance  systems is the price increase
