Hey let's spend tons of money on r&d to capitalize on a fad that Nintendo started! Who cares if it's already ran its course and most folks are glued to an iPad!
Ten years ago people would be laughing at me if I told them that Microsoft will get its ass kicked by Apple and Nintendo.
You don't know shit about shit. This is what Microsoft does. They don't innovate, they take another companies trend and then make a shit ton of money on it.
10 years ago you were probably laughing at the idea of a Microsoft game console. 10 years before that you were laughing at the idea of a Microsoft OS. Today you are laughing at them ripping off the Mii and trying to make an iPhone competitor. Anyone want to make a bet with me today on how this will turn out for them?
MS is like Suave, if Suave had a history of bullying OEMs and interfering with standards organizations.
Except they do have a couple of new ideas here. One is that the holy grail is getting people who want to play big-budget shooters and people who want to dick around on Facebook under the same roof. The other is that it's Microsoft's. Both ideas are unbelievably stupid.
