Wouldn't say win, but I can't see Xbox 3 being less successful than Xbox 360 will be.

Don't see why you think so..Since the Xbox 360 is a solid number 2 WW....If MS can do itright they will have yet even more success with their Nextbox....And As rumors fly of PS4in 2012..If this were to happen then MS can Really have the advantage..Plus don't underestimate Xbox Gamers in America

 

 

It's not a solid second place.

It's a distant second with a negligible lead over the third place console. The lead that it currently enjoys over the PS3 means nothing in the broad scheme of things, especially not in the eyes of third-party developers.

There's also the fact that the 360 appeals almost exclusively to core and hardcore gamers. It doesn't have anything that's going to bring in casual gamers en masse.

Its current market position isn't going to give it much momentum going into next gen. The N64 had a bigger lead over the Saturn, but it didn't really help the Gamecube much.
