When we MS ever king of th gaming market?


The only window I can think of them being in a dominant position was during the first 2 or 3 years of the 360s life. But they were still outsold by the Nintendo Wii and were plagued with the RROD. So although they had good sales and had some great games even then it wasn't a clear win.

They had a 2-year E3 dominance streak in 2008-2009, but haven't won a one of them since. Last year they were competitive, but ultimately outshined by Nintendo's gamer outreach. This could be their year, though, as the OP indicates.

They were outshined by sony as well, like most years, MS has always had weak e3's, way too many multiplats, weak first party for new ip's. Only time MS was ever in good position was when sony was dropping the ball early on with ps3.
