What's exactly winning?

Making a lot of profit over investment compared to the competition?

Winning more market share compared to the gain of competitors in this generation?

I'd say YES to both questions above.

Can Microsoft really win on any of those?

The answer is between not likely and No.

You think Microsoft gaming division, who also counts Zunes profits, but doesn't count last years 1 billion dollar loss to the RRoD, is gonna be more profitable than Nintendo?

 

You realize that MS "Profit" last year was due to Halo 3's vast success and it being a "first party" game, right?

 

Now come on, do you actually believe that MS will make more profit this year, with HD-DVD 's death, and the price drops, than Nintendo will, with the DS and the Wii, per investment dollar in its gaming division?

 

Cold day in hell, I'd say. Nintendo always makes a profit, and when times are good, they pretty much rake it in.

 

As far as "winning more market share" are you kidding?

 

The 360 vs the original Xbox, compared to the Wii verses the Gamecube?

 

No, my friend, the Xbox is not the top dog in either of the categories you've outlined. You should have known that.

 

I read the bolded statement and looked over the rest. I must've misunderstood you. No need to smoke crack and go into a bashing Zenfoldor competition.

 

Seeing as how what I thought you meant was so freakin' stupid, you can't blame me for jumping at the chance to disprove it.

 

What you actually said was spot on though, for once. I'm sorry if you were offended by my mistake.
