I'm fairly sure MS will be more successful next generation, than this one. They have really built up their brand next generation, and they can hit the ground running. Especially if they get a headstart again. They might even take away a few fans from the other guys, you never know. :P Microsoft is gonna have great games and a great library on any console they support, they have shown that this gen, so yeah. Xbox live players are gonna stay, and American core gamers are pretty much enthralled with the brand at this point, to an extent where the PS3 is relatively obscure. You do well in America and you'll be fine. Its a very influential market as developers go. Very healthy, sells a lot of software. Devs fall over themselves to get a chance to appeal here, and the Xbox is the platform to do it on. See the westernization and porting of the Final Fantasy series, as one example, and the success of Call of Duty/Halo as another. Shooters sell like hotcakes on the Xbox, and so does any software in general that would have an impact on core gamers decisions, so again, the brand is there, the games will come.
I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.
NO NO, NO NO NO.
