I think Microsoft CAN win a generation.

Sure, but you have to define what 'winning' is.

Certainly I agree with Tru_Fan, the 360 won last gen. No it didn't sell as much as the Wii, but it set a brand new graphic stander for most everything that followed. And improved on the innovation in movement gaming that finally worked with the Wii and improved it, mostly, with Kinect. Plus the 360 has the higher attachment rate of it's gen, that could be winning too. They also went from low sales on the original Xbox to major force with the 360, a win by many measurements.

As far as console sales, they could do really well in China or India and sell the most. Some would call that 'winning.' But then others would complain about it. Right now they would have lots of catching up to do for sales.

But the game may change with Windows 10, DirectX 12 and the new AR/VR products coming to market. Surely Cortana will be coming to the Xbox One and that my change things.

When the price gets lower, I can see more business have an Xbox One for it's really good Skype teleconferencing functionality. I know some had a 360 just for Kinect/Skyping. But they are also building that into the new wall mounted displays.

Plus there is that slim change Valve may actually be a force, but that seems less and less likely.

There are many things going on in the world of computers and things tend to change at a faster rate.
