Your post had a bit of credibility until the last sentence gave you away... I didnt realise MS where in the coffin and all but one nail was hammered home... get a grip. Ms are still doing fine and having just passed 40m (which many here thought impossible) with a profitable console are very happy right now. Ms is building a brand, slowly but surely. Xbox is a very strong brand in the US now and is on the map everywhere bar Japan. Next gen they will build on that more. I expect Xbox to be at least the number 2 brand again in the US next gen above Playstation. Come back to me after the main show later... and tell me if you still think that MS are dead and buried. |
Gave away what? That is some serious paranoia you have going on there...
MS is losing ground quickly, be it sales or popularity wise, PS3 launched later and sells better than Xbox did during the same period since release. It's more and more obvious that the PS3 is the stronger piece of hardware out of the HD twins and hasn't been maxed yet, while the Xbox might've peaked 2 years ago (I'm still waiting for a proof that Gears 2 wasn't be most XBox is capable of). Natal was supposed to keep XBox out there for another 5 years (or atleast that's what MS exec were boasting about prior to E3).
So yes, that looks like a "coffin" to me. I'm not implying that the XBox was fiasco, but at this point, it's pretty much heading towards end of it's cycle. So the last nail to the coffin is pretty good analogy imho.
