If games like Assassin's Creed 2, Call of Duty 4 pt. 2, Fallout 3, Mass Effect 2, Gears 3, Halo 4, GTA V, Final Fantasy XIV were xbox exclusives, they'd be walking all over Nintendo.

No, because Nintendo expanded the market to casual, there are more of them then traditional gamers.

 

 

      Without taking the Americas market into consideration, this past week, the 360 and PS3 combined have already sold a combined 65,022 more units than the Wii.  

This is so stupid, your assuming those that baught a PS3 would switch to xbox if all that shit above was true. I for one would never, as 360 hardware has been a piece of crap from day one. Sure they have fixed most the issues, but how many games have I missed out on because of this long wait?

Then you have fanboys who will never go multiplatform and die with the one brand they always baught.

Then you also have people who hate Microsoft.

Some of those PS3 would have been baught as Blu-Ray players, do to shops pushing them as a multimedia device for homes rather then gaming consoles.

So many factors to consider before you can make a call like that. 

     I'm assuming that if there wasn't a Playstation console as any kind of a major player in Western videogames and that if Nintendo's next gen console is only about as powerful in respect to today's PS3 and 360 as the Wii is to the original xbox while Microsoft's next console is affordable yet the kind of machine that could easily more than run Crysis at its highest settings, then the kinds of third parties and third party games we haven't seen on the Wii this gen would still be being made in large numbers on Microsoft's next console while they probably wouldn't be on Nintendo's next console.

    I'm also assuming that Microsoft is able to find a way to both be able to hold their own as family console and as a game system for more mature kinds of games (like PS2 was able to do), while Nintendo's next console will continue to be seen as no more of a home for mature / hardcore games than the Wii is now where higher rated and critically accepted mature games like Madworld and No More Heroes fail to sale more than a fraction of the number of games that games like Wii Sports do.
