If one company has enough of a domination, they can release almost anything and still remain the dominant company. Look at Vista. At launch, it was a mess. They've fixed it, and people use it. Most people who don't use it use XP. Gaming might be different though. Sony was dominant for two generations, the PS3 was "Vista", I suppose, started bad and got a lot better, and to be fair it did go into second (weekly sales) for quite a while, although the price eventually lowered sales again. And look how many people still use the PS2.

Yeah, I've always thought Vista and PS3 were similar in terms of public reception. My Vista now works better than my XP ever did, although there are many people that won't go for Vista because of hearsay. Same with the PS3. Some still consider it the "no games" console, even though it has quite a decent line-up now. On the other side of the coin, the 360 is still the "RROD" console, even thought that's mostly fixed. I've never been much into Gears and Halo, so PS3 has more exclusives that I enjoy. As far as 360 exclusives go, I love Tales of Vesperia and Fable 2 and I'm hoping SO4 will provide a similar experience.
"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials
