Was it? was it really? did you really believe that? serious question OR did the system catch up and the you were like ok its gonna happen. Becasue there were many people on this very site who didnt believe it would and had to eat a lot of crow with tater sauce. Yeah some damage BUT nothing is set in stone and id say MS did a little damage to itself. MS could and seems to be losing some marketshare back to Sony |
MS made the right move in releasing the 360 ahead of the PS3, cause if they didn't, the PS3 would have been as popular as the PS2 I think. Yes the PS3 cought up EVENTUALLY, but the damage was already done. Things are on a more even plain right now, although I think there are still marginally more Sony fans out there.
To answer your question, I thought MS would have brought the X1 a year earlier, before the PS3 caught the 360, to save face and to get another jump on the new console generation. Ultimately, I didn't think the PS3 would cathe the 360, or MS wouldn't have let that happen. I guess MS took a page out of Nintendo's and Sony's book and got too confident.
