| badgenome said: No chance. The 360 had everything going in its favor this generation, and it still couldn't outsell the PS3. After the way MS has stumbled out of the gates so far, I don't see how they're going to improve their position generation over generation. The fact that they were apparently willing to scrap their entire "vision" for their console speaks volumes about where the Xbox division is at the moment. |
The XB360 had a lack of exclusive support IMO. If XB1 can fix this issue as well as get more 3rd party support, that would help. Plus, Kinect has a lot of potential. I could be wrong though.
As for Wii U? I don't think the whole GC thing is a valid reason as to why Wii U won't sell well. It'd be like saying Wii U will do very well because the Wii did. Each generation is different and doesn't directly effect the next IMO. This logic also doesn't work for 2 reasons:
1) Nintendo has grown as a company since then. They have much more money and their series are much bigger than before.
2) (main reason) The PS2 was the easy choice back in 2001. Sony had nearly every single 3rd party game all to itself. The fact that it doubled as a DVD player was also a very big factor for the GP. The core fans obviously had its sides but the GP picking PS2 was just about the easiest gaming desision someone could make.
