Nobody has defeated nobody.
Agreed.
MS has proved that they are indeed a recognised force in the industry
IMO Microsoft isn't a small company lacking resources and hasn't done something remarkably against all odds.
I still remember the days when nearly all major games were released for Windows first, I still remember when Microsoft bought out companies like Bungie, which was a major Macintosh games developer. A lot has changed in that regard.
IMO the original XBox could have sold well more if the console wasn't discontinued prematurely and if Microsoft put more emphasis on the console vs Windows releases (like is now the case with regard to the 360).
