Being a long time microsoft hater (for reasons that have nothing to do with the XBox) I am actually quite suprised and impressed at how Microsoft is handling this generation.
They have massive third party support. They keep stealing games from their competitors (GTA and FF are still incredible), they have massive amounts of software sold for their system and they continue to stay ahead of the PS3 in WW sales. The longer they can keep the WW sales above PS3 the better their situation.
They are doing exactly what they wanted to do this gen in spite of the Wii explosion. Its great.
Currently dreaming of: DKC4 or Sonic the Hedgehog 4 (classic 2D platformers) for WiiWare, Smash Bros. for DSi, New Super Mario World for DSi, a Wii remake or true sequel of Final Fantasy Tactics.
One down, hopefully more awesomeness to come.
