Expecting it to be a battle between Nintendo and Microsoft in the 8th gen.

 

I have a feeling Sony is going downhill and will do badly everywhere, except maybe decent in Europe. Nintendo will take Japan while Microsoft will take the US.

 

The main reason Sony caught up with the PS3 to some extent is because they were just fine with selling the console at a horrible loss for a long, long time. Anyone with enough money in the bank can make the most powerful system and sell it at a loss to get people to buy it. I don't think Sony can/will do the same thing again for Vita/PS4.

it was still most expensive the whole gen and a year late.  Even then it was overshadowed by Wii explosion and then Kinect.  This gen's numbers show the lowest Sony is likely to go.  I mean they did pretty much everything wrong for 2 years, effectively giving no one a reason to buy their product over the competitors for the first 2 years 360 was out.  holiday 07 had some good title (R&C and Uncharted) but nothing big until MGS4.  They were more expensive and late (a combo that would mean death for any other of the big 3) not to mention their inferior 3rd party and crap advertising.  Even doing every possible thing to lose a gen they will still be 2nd at least and sell over 90 million PS3s.  I don't see how they could handle the first 2 years (probably the most important ones for establishing a fan base over the competitors) any worse so I can only see them going up from here.
