It's far too early to call this a "duopoly". Would you have considered 6th gen a "duopoly" when in fact the original xbox performed just as bad as the gamecube ?


Actually the original X-Box did a lot better then the Gamecube since it actually moved software it still has the highest atachment ratio of any console.  The main purpose of a console is to move software and so far still no other system has done it better then the original X-Box.

Having the highest attachment ratio doesn't mean much when the numbers are pretty comparable to those of the last 7 or so platforms before it. Just because the original xbox has 11 games attached to a console doesn't mean that it blew gamecube out of the water with 10 games per console. If the main purpose of a console is to move software then the original xbox did a pretty bad job considering that the software sales are a total of LESS than 300 million. There is NO damage controlling the fact that the original xbox did just as poorly as the gamecube.
