How do you think MS have done this gen with the 360? 

and please remember PM does not work for MS any more... he is overlaying his words on them.

I would say Microsoft failed in one metric with the 360, that is the lack of an outright victory, which is clearly what they were gunning for (they really seemed to incorporate much of what made the PS2 successful into their strategy, realizing why the PS2 succeeded when even Sony took the wrong message), and they can hardly be blamed for not foreseeing the Wii.

I know he doesn't work for Microsoft, but Molyneux will be but one of many observers who will make many conflicting claims in the next year or so. Then it all fades into history and the obvious becomes more obvious again (or not. Some people still think the Genesis beat the SNES).
