Have you conveniently forgotten that windows has 93% market share? Natal may or may not be a huge success but Microsoft will try. I think Natal (which hopefully won't be called Natal when it comes out) will be a success. How big? We shall see. On the other hand next gen we will see a mild jump in graphics in Sony and Microsoft. Nintendo will make the jump to HD as well and it will probably be equal to this gen's HD console specs. Next gen will be a software focused gen so its a toss-up on who will win. Microsoft and Sony will definately target the casual audience as well as the hardcore so Nintendo will have a fight on their hands. |
Does marketshare automatically mean they have a great product? The day apple decides they dont want to also make money off the hardware is the day Microsoft loses 50% of that marketshare. The day you get a Dell or HP or Sony Vaio with Apple OS XI as an installation option kiss marketshare goodbye. Apple likes to make money off every single piece of product in their pipeline, that is why they make approximately 40% of every Iphone sold, with similar margins on their computer line. It is not because Microsoft has a great product why they have marketshare in the PC buisness, It is because Apple cares enough to have some form of quality control of Hardware
