That is a far too generalized analysis. The problem with Microsoft isn't that it can't compete, it is that it can't compete globally. The 360 will be the market leader in the biggest market in the world, that is no small feat. It is also the most profitable market with the biggest software attachment. However, Microsoft struggles in a lot of Europe and is completely dead in Japan. That isn't necessarily bad for Microsoft. Their sales numbers for their hardware isn't something to dismiss. This generation was so even that saying coming in third place is somehow bad is just a pathetic argument.

I would also dispute the fact Microsoft lost money, I'm pretty sure it has been established that the 360 has made a profit, although not a large amount, especially in microsoft terms...

Why would you do that since investors are going crazy to eliminate the xbox division. The xbox 360 has made profit but it is meaningless since investors see the bottomline.
