I think it's still possible for Nintendo to win a gen, but I don't think MS really knows how to stay in the game for the long run.I also don't think that SONY has won any of the past three gens by default. They worked really hard to stay on top.
They were very forward thinking with the Playstation, which ultimately sealed their dominance for gen 5.
They went to the DVD format and garnered a ridiculous amount of 3rd party support in gen 6.
They re-worked their message, spent a LOT of money, and flooded their user-base with exclusive after exclusive for gen 7 after being on the ropes for years. It also helped that Nintendo went too casual and MS kept robbing their customers for 8 years.
They made sure their message was clear and gamer-centric all the while making MS look like clueless fools for the start of Gen 8.
I am the Playstation Avenger.
