Microsoft is finished in the console business. They will never recover from this.

In 3 years when the sales have scraped the bottom or too long Microsoft will realize this and start to downsize their gaming division. From then on we will start to see less and less exclusives.

In 7 years from now the last Microsoft console will be produced.


Honestly IMO Xbox is bad for the gaming industry AND Microsoft.

1) MS consistently holds back innovation by bullying devs into holding back certain things on other platforms to make Xbox look good.

2) MS is still billions of dollars in the RED from the original Xbox while the 360 has just about broke even.  Microsoft needs to refocus their gaming energy into Windows before Mac and Linux become just as viable of a gaming platform.  WIndows is where MS makes money and creates good products, not Xbox.



Prediction for console Lifetime sales:

Wii:100-120 million, PS3:80-110 million, 360:70-100 million

[Prediction Made 11/5/2009]

3DS: 65m, PSV: 22m, Wii U: 18-22m, PS4: 80-120m, X1: 35-55m

I gauruntee the PS5 comes out after only 5-6 years after the launch of the PS4.
