Microsoft shooting itself in the foot confirmed?

why wouldnt future sales count of the ps3/360/wii? their in a war with each other and not the next gen(720ps4wiiu),theres no shot clock thats winding down. what if nintendo releases a super wiiu tomorrow,does that mean the original wiiu wins next gen over ps4/720 because they had more sales after a new console is launched? that thinking is mentally challenging... ps2 had 10's of millions sold after the ps3 launched,so does that mean all those ps2 sales dont count on the overall total? a generation ONLY truely ends when manufacturing stops for good,and not when a new console ends.. even a 3 year old could see this simple logic. who ever thinks a generation ends and sales no longer count after a new console is realeased has a lot of fanboy dribble logic.. 360 ppl uses this dribble because they see the inevitable last place finish just around the corner

Yes, I read it as he is talking more about the downturn in Gaming in general.  He is using the lack of precieve interest using the upcomming annoucment of the PS4 as an example.

And yes, certainly most everyone in gaming will be watching the PS4 annoucement. Heck, I bet plenty at Apple will be following.

PS The Xbox360 has, is about to pass the Wii in total sales in the UK.  Just waiting for the numbers.

Lol where does this dude live? EVERYBODY will know since EVERY media, even not gaming related, has already reported about the meeting. The actual announcement will be big news for everyone.

PS3 is still last place... Hasn't the PS3 been outselling the 360 for the last 4 years? Besides this thread is about the PS4!! That would make no sense, because PS3 still didn't passed the 360 in total sales. For how much longer? Every next-gen console will have released by then and that will no longer be relevant. 360 stood above PS3 sales wise for the entire gen. Wanna back your words and bet it won't happen till the next gen is released? Sig control for whoever wins.

I'm touched, my first bet proposal on VGChartz! I will accept your proposal and honor my words. However, you know, i'm not familiar with these kinds of things, so we will need to discuss how it will work...

Beautiful that you're touched!

Well i don't wanna go evil on your ass, like some other posters here would like to do to each other, i could just quote you in my sig if i win and you could do the same if you won.

The original MCV headline says "Xbox 360 closes in on Wii's UK sales record" so why is the OP's headline completely different? http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/xbox-overtakes-wii-in-uk-we-ve-won-this-round/0110895
