People have such short term and selective memories. Before November 15, 2001, MS had never even attempted a console. They essentially came out of left field with a vision of capturing a piece of the huge and ever expanding video game market. Their first generation console lost a whole lot of money, and ended up capturing about 15% of the market. Their next console currently has about 50% of the market in the all important US market. Yes, that number will change in the coming years, and the system has been out a full year longer, but the fact that games division is finally turning a profit and has increased their market share is huge for MS.
No, the 360 will not win this generation. But MS actually has a shot of making some money this gen, and have put out some really great games. It was Sony's market share to lose, and they have. Cut MS some slack and try to remember that they've only been in the console market for 6 years.
