Microsoft: Xbox Phone Launch Bigger Than Xbox 360's

[BehattedWanderer]

...Microsoft makes phones? Wow. I am totally surprised. I honestly did not know this. So, Microsoft is trying to mimic Apple again? Man, what a loopy cycle...Yeah, ok, a phone is a decent handheld platform for addicting little mini titles, but I can't really think of anyone who buys one just for gaming...

I guess if someone makes phones they're trying to mimic Apple who totally invented the phone in the first place

Which was not my implication at all. That they're focusing gaming power on a phone, yes, they are copying Apple. The same Apple who started implementing extensive gaming in the iPhone and its iterations because of how much extra dosh Microsoft was making from the Xbox and the 360, giving them a slight edge against their main competitor. And so, they ramped up the gaming availabilities of their products, to try and extend their audience, in turn making a bit of extra cash. Cycle, see?

Oh no! Apple invented the gaming phone! Microsoft and Google should go out of business for making their own gaming phones because obviously Apple is the only one that can make dem

Yeah, I'm done. It's not worth the effort of correcting your insipidity.

No, you're done because it would make you look like an idiot if you claimed that Apple invented the gaming based phone and all other gaming based phones are rip-offs. Apple really never pushed the gaming aspect as much as Microsoft is doing now anyways.

Regardless, I accept your forfeit.

You apparently don't understand the difference between making successful and inventing. You have my pity, in that case.

No, you have the shitty logic that Microsoft is copying Apple because they're making a gaming-based phone. As such, you're pretty much claiming that anybody that creates a gaming based phone must be copying Apple.

If Apple merely made it a success, they must not be copying then.
