This is serious for consumers in North America.

Thoughts?

He's saying the Xbox 360 is a flaming pile of shit.

And it's somewhat true.

That would be awful. The direct competition between Sony and Microsoft forces them to cater to consumers in ways they would not if there was only one hardcore console.

Pretty sure there was a thread bout this already, anyway banning the most bought console of this generation is a stupid move. Nobody should be worried.

Well, any PS3 users know of any PS3 exclusive games you would recommend? Besides the Uncharted games, the infamous games, LBP games. Already have them. Dont really care for non exclusive games either.

Xbox ban would allow Microsoft to focus on other things.

To be honest it wouldn't really affect me. Microsoft would either make a new system under a new name, or become a 3rd party developer.

Because their console is totally hurting their profits towards windows vista or the Windows phone.

This seems like silly hyperbole to me. Microsoft is too large and influential for anything this potentially damaging to become a reality.

Oh, and to all the people saying "hurr no more Xbox will save video games", I hope you'll enjoy the great Sony v. Nintendo shovelware battle.

I'm guessing this won't affect existing Xbox 360 owners, such as myself.

And on that note, expect to see Microsoft's next console on the market real soon.

*sniff sniff* Is that...?

*sniff* Yup, that's definitely the putrid smell of a fanboy.

You act like your shit don't stink.

Anyhow OP, this would not ban XBOX360 in the US. This would ban the IMPORTATION of XBOX360 into the US. This means that the last stock on the shelves currently in the US would be just that. The last stock on the shelves. No one is going to stop you from possessing one or buying one from your pal.

I never once used the service, so it won't affect me.

That, and I've only ever played multiplayer games on PC.

It won't affect me, but I feel sorry for my friends who are owners of the Xbox.
If the Xbox is banned, would that mean they'd stop selling games to preexisting owners?

I doubt this will get anywhere close to happening and even if it does the damn things have been out since 2007. Anyone who was going to buy on of them probably already owns one.

It's Microsoft faults for starting this shit patent wars. Oracle lost the war with Google and Microsoft still can't learn a shit from this patent thing.
