Next gen, Microsoft will go after Nintendo with the full force of Western PC game developers behind them. The 360 was designed from day one to go after the PS3.
Microsoft will probably win next gen and Western console development will be considered to be in its Golden Age much as Hollywood's Golden Age was considered to come with the rise of studios like Universal and MGM in the 30's and the death of European silent cinema.
