The PSP and Wii were both flukes.

Sony was the king when the console business model involved:
- introducing a new proprietary media format to drive sales
- selling console at a loss and undercutting the competition that can't/won't do the same
- getting 3rd parties to support your console more than the other guys

Sadly none of that can be applied anymore as media format doesn't matter, Microsoft will undercut Sony on price all night long and major 3rd party devs have to sell 1 million + copies of their game to break even so they have to put it on as many consoles as possible.

So yeah, get used to seeing more console flukes happening in the future.

That's just not true. Microsoft will take as small a loss as possible. Just look at Xbox 360. There is loads of room for price cuts and that could have put them in a much more favorable position in the market than they are in now. But they pick profits over marketshare. 

Exactly right. But Microsoft will still make sure to be same price as Sony or cheaper. They will take a loss...Nintendo and Sega didn't want to.

Microsoft arent like Apple who toys with competition and wants to go for the kill. Microsoft really doesn't care if Sony is making consoles and is making money as long as they are making money.
