I agree with Rocketpig on this one. If you're Microsoft, you gotta be pretty happy with yourself. They took on Sony domination, and did pretty well for themselves. They've gone from also-rans to solid competitor.

Look at it this way: Sony fumbled the ball very badly with the PS3 for two years. One year of delays, another year of broken promises, sky high prices, and much lower than expected sales. Microsoft failed to capitalize in part due to their own fumbling. Nintendo capitalized, and look at where they are.

I agree that Sony fumbled, but it was the competition with Microsoft for a bigger and better console that caused that fumble.

There is no one I know who expected Microsoft to be in this good of a position, and Sony to be in this bad of a position at this point in the race.  Everyone assumed Sony would win again.  Of course, it's also true that without the RROD, Microsoft would be doing even better.
