I like what Microsoft has been doing so far and I suspect it's worked out well for them. I bought the Xbone primarily because I would be able to play all the 360 games that I already had. Of course, I didn't bother doing so in practice, and it turned out that the ps4 had many more games that I actually wanted to play. But the strategy worked! Conversely, with Nintendo there are a number of classics that I've paid for at least three times. Shit, in the case of Yoshi's Island, IMO one of the best platformers ever, it's four (or maybe more like 3.5 times): the original for SNES, the GBA version (with gimped effects!), the WiiU virtual console version, the SNES classic version, and now the 'Nintendo online' version. That said, the fact that Nintendo can get it away with this without making me really hate them on any level, in the end, speaks highly of the amount of brand loyalty I've developed at this point.
