$$$. They've got the money to advertise more, get more exclusives and possibly undercut Sony and Ninty on price. Also, the X360 has the highest tie-ratio this gen (indicating higher levels of consumer satisfaction than the Wii and PS3) so consumers will remain with the Xbox brand and less satisfied Sony and Ninty consumers will switch and support the Xbox brand.

Oh yeah, and I wouldn't be so sure that Sony are gonna offer free online next gen...

Hmm. The $$$ didnt help them to dominate in over 10 Years of competition. Billions spent on advertising...

The tie-ratio point is quite silly too in reality. Look at the PS2 t-r (~1.5 Billion games on ~157M consoles) and how it helped PS3. You need quality and variety at launch. You need exclusives and maintained support. Its not tie-ratio that you should have pointed out. You should have said growing brand strength in the likes of America, UK and Australasia.

Considering your recent record on things, Ill choose not to even bother with your last point.
