You forgot one thing, DMJ. MS nabbed key franchises off the 2-time champs (DMC, GTA, Mercenaries) and had several exclusives or timed exclusives (Bioshock, Ace Combat, a slew of RPGs).
I can't believe you are that sore you can't give MS more props on that. My heavens - the 360 just own3d the original Xbox - and still has a grip of steam in its sails. They focused on dethroning Sony - and they did just that.
They are winning the HD gaming market. Doesn't matter if they finish a close second or distant second to Ninny - they are in the lead in the HD battle and made sure the champ didn't return.
If they exit with the 720 before Sony ties them, it's over and done with. Think 3rd-parties won't notice it either.
