Have Microsoft solidified themselves as a gaming giant equal to Sony?

Sony has sold nearly 10 times as many gaming consoles as MS has.

Just because the 360 has 4% more market share than the PS3 so far this generation doesn't make them an equal.

Ps3 sales are bound to catch up to and at least equal the 360s sales within the next 3 years, and regardless MS will still come in 2nd this gen.

Sony was the driving force behind the success of DVDs with the PS2, and now Blu-ray with the PS3.

Sony's gaming consoles have pointed the entire world in the direction of DVD and now Blu-ray. The 360 hasn't pointed the world in the direction of anything. Its pointed a TON of 12-16 year old boys to Halo and MW2.

The government uses Sony's processors for its computers. The 360 uses hardware thats commercially available pretty much everywhere.

MS has solidified itself with yet another failure thanks to piss poor failure rates thanks to the RROD.

MS WILL grow into a much larger gaming presence eventually, but as of right now its still leaps and bounds behind Sony.

Sorry, OP.

 

I look forward to reading many more of your articles on SDF, keep fighting soldier!
