Right now, there are few areas that Sony or Microsoft can claim victory over Nintendo in. But for Microsoft, one of those areas has been revenue, for a long time now.

You are right, even though revenue is not considered very important (things like market share and profit are much more important), MS is beating Nintendo in console revenue. It will likely change, as you say, but I am not 100% certain. It doesn't really matter anyway because only a nutty fanboy would even mention the revenue factor in a serious arguement.

I don't think revenue numbers are actually important. But they are still used very commonly. MS boasts revenue (recently: "42% of LTD next-gen revenue is ours"), and I've seen editorials about how "360 is actually still winning" in America because of dollar spend. I'm merely pointing out the impending death of this defense and (half) joking about possible future defenses of the XBox business. |
Then the real danger is that MS could damage the term revenue. Right now it has a neutral or slightly positive stigma attached to it. However, if MS loses lots of money, loses ground, and/or comes in 3rd while talking about how it has so much revenue people might start to associate revenue with bad things and MS will damage the term just like IE distorts so many websites.
