Wii U had no effect on MS/Sony.
I am now hoping that Sony will release a lower spec console while MS releases a powerhouse. MS can take some losses with no problem and it just might lead to huge victory. Mmmm.. Imagine, a 70% marketshare MS console. That would be so sweet. |
You are daydreaming. How did that work for microsoft in the PS2 era? history has proven us time and again that the most powerful system almost never wins.
There is logic to it, if you care to think about it.
Also, the Xbox will never be sucessful in Japan and europe in Sonyland. Microsoft pretty much maxed out their potencial this gen. The only way they can get more is if one of the other 2 mess up bad.

Your post is just wishful thinking.
Sony/Nintendo can have Japan, it is pretty much irrelevant from my perspective. 360 has sold almost as much in Europe as Xbox did worldwide. Who are you to say that they won't be the top dog next gen?

If its wishful thinking, what exactly am i wishing for?
By the way, when i spelled "in sonyland " i meant to say "is sony land". Means that a complete victory in europe is harder to achieve than in the US. Still, europe highly prefers the playstation brand. If you live in europe you will know why. Its called "the champions league".

"Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it."
In the early 1980's until the mid-80's, the MSX was the dominant PC standard in Japan. It was the standard created by Microsoft, using Microsoft custom components, a customized version of MS-DOS, and BASIC. Prior to Nintendo's introduction into game systems, it was the gaming system standard in Japan.
To say Microsoft will never be successful in Europe or Japan when they've shown they can be and have been in the past is silly.

Its not impossible, but its highly unprobable.
As i said, the only way microsoft can pull it off is if one of the other competitors mess up bad. At wich point that competitior would probably be forced to leave the market.
