2) The reason why M$ got through the market was 2 things, 1) they paid developers money to make the games..aka bribe...that won't work here because Google is already doing the bribing (its actually one of the reasons Google broke through with Android) and also a lot of game publishers were frustrated with Sony and they lost a bunch of exclusives...

Yes but that whole bribing thing left microsoft with about 3 exclusives.Instead of buying game companies like sony or maybe ea, they cut short term deals that work against them in the long wrong. Thats why nintendo and sony will (for at least the next 4-5 years) have more 1st party exclusive games. It wasn't that game 'developers' not publishers were frustrated with sony. Its simply that microsoft was first with next gen hardware.Lesser competition= larger consumer base. Microsoft is a great company and some of their products are great. I feel that the problem is that they're too ****y. Instead of building trust and loyalty with their partners and the consumers who buy their products. They simply drop support or block features only to charge you for later. Throwing money around doesn't guarantee success.
