It's the third console curse. Everyone has to go through it...

N64 - Marked the first time Nintendo was not in 1st, lost many of its third party supporters.

Sega Saturn - Huge decline in sales from which Sega as a hardware company would never recover. Even the awesome Dreamcast could not save it.

Atari 7800 - Major flop which pretty much marked the end of Atari as a hardware company.

MS may be in trouble with its next console O_o

Have been thinking the same thing, but strangely I still see MS as being best positioned to lead the market for the 8th gen. 

Unless the "Windows 8" platform as a whole turns into a failure. Not saying i think this will happen, but it could be that 8's attempts at imitating tablets causes Microsoft to breed a platform that pleases no-one, and that contamination leeches into Durango, undermining it.
