To be honest, Wii has won this gen, no questions, PS2 won last. X-box brand is on it's 2nd stab at it and is failing again. If they want to continue in the market, they have to start on development on their next console, which will start costing money again. And it's not a garentee that will make money either. If I were a shareholder I'd prefer them to back out and stick with the money making departments.

True, the figures of Nintendo are way out of charts compared to the 360/PS3 ones. Wii is about GAMEPLAY, not technologies ...

But still, PS3 FANBOYS keep saying that they will achieve domination by technology ... urgh

Even then, Sony has something out of those technologies, Blu-Ray, if this is Sony's last game console gen then they can be in the knowledge that Blu-ray succeeded in the HD market. What does M$ have?

 

M$ wouldn't have gained anything directly, however you can say they've destroyed (or at least weakened) the Playstation brand .  Many believe the threat of Sony's PS cutting into Microsoft is the reason they got into console gaming in the first place.
