I think the 360 has been a phenomenal success even if it does eventually succumb to the PS3. It's managed to garner a very large market share especially compared to the previous generation. It's gotten it's name out there as a serious gaming machine, and not just another unsuccessful attempt. It's done alot better in Japan this time around, even if it still isn't that great. The US now considers the Xbox brand to be THE brand for hardcore gaming. And it's still taking a bit out of the PS3s potential userbase. If their goal is to climb a bit further up the latter with each generation, they are succeeding admirably. Unlike Sony in the PSX days, Microsoft did not come at an opportune time and snatch victory up. It came at a time when it had no chance of victory, and is now embroiled in one of the fiercest console wars in history. Given that they are the new kid on the block, and doing this well, they deserve some credit, even if they don't win in the end.
