What if it does not work?

Thoughtful assessment. I think I agree with all of your points.

The only point I would question is what will end up as the dominant choice for US gamers. If the install base catches up it will be interesting to see which console sells more for multi-platform games.

I agree, US is really the toughest to call but the most interesting to watch and try and guess.

In Japan MS poured in money, effort and got a result, but their console/brand is still miles behind Sony and Nintendo so the big focus there is PS3/Wii.

In Others Wii remains dominant but it's been kind of neck and neck woth 360/PS3 in simple terms but PS3 clearly ahead when you factor in 360 has 2 additional holiday seasons and 15 month sales head start.  MS can make moves to hold of PS3, but probably in the end PS3 will pass it.

In US, well, adoption of 360 has been stellar while PS3 has been lackluster, price has always been a huge issue, and things have just got interesting.
