Im pretty sure they do, by no means is sony scared of the xbox. If you take a look at the numbers ps2 is kicking xbox's ass in sales and the number of game titles. If xbox live fails I think the whole thing will come tumbling down on them. Bottom line, its got ok graphics but you can have all the graphics in the world but with no good games you have nothing.

to me the buying of Rare just means that Microsoft thinks they can buy their way to the top. its sad that microsft can't be inovative they just buy...they bought Rare for almost 400 million!!

Why should they change now? Microsoft doesn't have an ounce of innovation in them and never have.

Now I know that you're all going to yell and scream. As an xbox owner, I dont feel that the Rare move is bad and ANY corporate company could buy the companies they wish to. Hardware is one of the best examples of this and even the companies you love and trust will do this. It's not cheating, it's not being anything except smart. Any company will tell you this. Any company, if it could, would gladly buy out it's competition.

But you see buying out the competition as a good thing? What happens when there is no competition left to buy out? Then you have what is called a monopoly. That's how they became a monopoly in another market. No competition in the market place is extremely bad for the consumer.
Let's say Microsoft buys out all the competition in the console game market. No more Playstation, no more Nintendo. And let's say they also buy all the game software companies. What do you think will happen to your cute little Xbox? The price will immediately sky rocket and there will be no incentive for the hardware and software to get any better.
Microsoft bought their way to the top in another market and the true evil is now showing more than ever before. Wait till it happens in the Game market. I think you should be hoping that it doesn't (unless you work for Microsoft).
