Microsoft's biggest contribution to gaming could be breaking the third console curse. History is in their hands.

The PS3 started out slow but its still a sucess especially when compared to the N64 and Sega Saturn.   As long as MS can avoid another RROD fiasco their next system is pretty much guranteed to sell more then the 360.

Not a succes in financial terms, which is what the third console curse entails. 

When it comes to finacil success in video games no one can come close to Nintendo the only system they really lost money on was the Virtual Boy.  Aslo they are geniuses when it comes to marketing which is a large part of their success.

Well they lost money last year didn't they. I wasn't really talking about that though. Financial succes is also not as easy to define as 'this console was profitable', it's also relative to your company's previous products on the market.
