I dont know how any devices with a $500-$600(games, tax ect) entry point are going to set the charts on fire, not to mention the lack of must have games (though there have been much weaker launches). People have less expendable income than ever. If you launched with a God/Gears of war, GT, Halo, Uncharted it might be different. I see plenty of consoles available shortly after launch, especially after the scalpers return the ones they cant make a profit off of. Nothing is doomed, but we are far from some gaming renaissance.
Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.
Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.
