They couldn't even win this generation with everything going for them.

This was my first thought. How will this work when the PS3 launched $200 more, a year later, and did practically everything to kill itself, yet still won't come in 3rd place? Out of the gate, the PS4 has no such issues. 


Your acting as if Microsoft was some established brand going against another established brand. There is a lot more to judge the success of a console race than saying my company sold 1 million more than you.

You can't ignore profits, market share, and mind share.

Going from 25 million to 77 million is a major success.

Going from 100 plus to just passing your rivals at the end of the cycle while losing market and mind share and your company in shambles is not a win.

 

And please save me the 3rd place crap. Sony just passed Microsoft by a pubic hair and now OMG Microsoft is going into the next gen in 3rd place how will they ever handle it.
