Microsoft is going to sell a lot of software... But it takes hardware sales to be king in this industry. I think September will prove whether Microsoft can make it past 30 million worldwide this generation. If hardware doesn't get to Wii-like levels with that many AAA releases, Microsoft has already found their entire audience more or less, and probably won't see more than another 15 million or so sales throughout the entire lifespan of the machine, and Sony will have a great opportunity to not come out dead last. But if Microsoft cleans up, and I mean *really* cleans up, then not only will Sony be completely buried this generation, but Nintendo will have a genuine competition for first place.
