For the argument of Marathon and Sprint, I think every product manufacter expects their products are capable of selling with higher volumes in short times. It means their products are popular, well-known in the consumers. And the most importance is this will bring high revenue back to the manufacturers. To maintain the lead of the market share, the manufacters will then introduce new products to the market and get the same feedback from consumers.

In my opinion, when we talk about the winner of each generation, we are talking about the total sales within the golden age of the generation and their related revenues, profits and marekt performance, not the lifetime sales.

Do you really think MS and Sony are planning to have a Marathon, but not a Sprint to occupy the marekt share in short term?
