To be fair, Microsoft sold more consoles than Sony (if we don't count portables and last gen consoles), it's a very respectable position because Sony is much more recognized on this market and made excellent consoles. They are building a huge fanbase and the next step is build a reliable hardware so they won't have problems with 3RL or something. Next generation they will have a huge fanbase, probably a reliable hardware (no prejudice) and much more experience on this market. Seriously, Microsoft can be really sucessful on this market.

To be fair Sony sold more PS3 consoles with its 3 year life so far then MS did with their 360 in the same amount of time frame.  My point is its easy to re-word things to make one thing sound better than the other.  If you want to disregard PS2 vs Xbox then lets disregard the extra year Xbox360 was released before PS3, or better yet lets just start when the PS3 slim was released?

 

As for next gen you wont be too sure if MS will still have a huge fanbase (look what happened to all of the PS2 fanbase), maybe the RROD put a sour taste to some consumers for next gen etc.  There's lots of probabilities.  And of course MS can be successful on this market, they're freakin' rich!  If Sega was as rich as MS im sure alot of us would be playing on Sega's next gen with Shenmue 3..or 4...or 5.

Well, I can't say that you are wrong, you have a good point. 

And I won't disregard PS2 vs Xbox. The first xbox was truly crushed by the PS2.
