I always thought it obvious that the xbox brand will dominate NA and eventually uproot the japanese brands. The wii did the unexpected this gen but by next gen that too will be considered a "failure" in NA.

Everyone is quick to point out the the Japanese are "zenophobic" and hates the american xbox but turns a deliberate blind eye to the fact that an American console dominates America for the same reason.
I am not forgeting that it is games that make Japanese buy japanese and xbox is catered for americans but if you think that is the full story you are naive.

The next gen will be Xbox all over the others in NA.... if they American consumer have any money to buy it then.

huh?

dominates with 34.6% marketshare and sitting in second to a Japanese console? 

I thought I made it clear in my first sentence that quote:  "The wii did the unexpected this gen but by next gen that too will be considered a "failure" in NA." unquote. By unexpected I meant outsell the xbox brand.

I will however admit that the sentence you highlighted was indeed a contradiction but it is early in my working morning.
