The XBox family is defining the decade. PS2, DS, Wii all way better sellers and surely far more succesful. But in console design as in the direction consoles were built for the 2000-2010. It was the XBox that defined the era. XBox introduced a standard internal storage medium and online solution and an OS front loader system. All of which were eventually adopted by the Japanese game developers of Sony and Nintendo. PS2 and DS only represent a peak of traditional sales, they did nothing to define this decade of console gaming. Well the DS some more with it's Touch Screen. But the PSP has not followed suit and the iPhone seems to be succeeding more with the influence of the TS spreading out.
Next decade will be defined what Nintendo is doing with the Wii in regards of controls. Next decade will be all about expanding gaming experience. With the Wii/Wii Family owning that honours.
Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.
