Microsoft is a monopoly, no small, profit comany can even get a little piece of the industry. The only thing Microsoft has to contend with them is the open-source communtiy… Which generally includes the small-time independent game maker. This is Microsofts attempt to monopolize (is that a word?) the indie game making community, by having their own piece of it… Which, by microsofts monopolizing capability, will grow to alot more than a piece in a few years.

Btw, I hate all modern consoles. In my opinion, the N64 was the last good console. Handhelds included.
