"..Microsoft has come hard this generation with an early start and has continued to compete and outdo Sony, sales wise, despite the 140m+ fan base Sony had last generation."

Because its all about the 8 million more Xbox360 owners. I just find it hard to believe that Sony's doing alot worst than MS just from 8 million people. PS3 isnt that far behind with the price its at.

 

It's not about 8 million people. It's about going from a 115 million unit advantage last generation to being 8 million behind now. And rising. That's a 123 million unit swing from last gen. That's huge.

Well then something's wrong with these people because you cant honestly believe that Sony will continue to dominate as they did last gen unless the competitors are still dumb and didnt learn from their experience.  As we can see, MS and Nintendo learned alot from their previous gen and utilized it.  Did these people think that regardless of MS and Nintendo's plan, Sony will dominate just because they did last gen?

 

Yes, people usually imagine future simply as an exaggerated present, ignoring the more complex background events.

This is why most predictions are so wrong. (Check paleo-future, the study of old futuristic concepts)

 

 Now most people are sure that the following generation will be another sony/microsoft/nintendo console war, with Sony making an expensive niche product with holo-disc technology, and Nintendo making more motion controls, for the casual gamers. :)
