Microsoft already won against Sony this generation.

* We, with a little help from Nintento, reduced the amount of Playstations from 115 million to 60 million, while increasing the amount of Xbos from 24 million to 50 million. Sony dominance is gone.

* We are profitable.

* We conquered the mindset of gamers and MS is now a reliable and true player in this business.

* We are now as cool as Sony. Today it's not only "hip" to own a Playstation brand, but an Xbox 360 is considered as "hip" as well.

* We are now the platform of choice for developers, securing exclusives for X360 and multi-platform games.

* We have are eyes set for the next gen. MS learned from it's mistakes this gen (hardware issues, timing of price drops for gaining momentum), and MS will launch an even stlonger XBOX 3, of course 1 year earlier than PS4. Next gen MS will beat Sony in every area (profitability, exlusives, consoles sales etc).


 what the hell?

1. last time i checked, there are 42.72 million xboxes and aproximately 260 million playstations in the world.

2. 89m in a division that combines a number of things is hardly "profitable" you can't even prove they're profiting. esp after the EU price cut.

3. reliable? looooool

4. "cool"? what the hell does that matter? microsoft has never been "cool" anyways, everyone ive ever talked to hates microsoft as a company, largely due to failures to make decent software (and hardware).

5. you are not the "platform of choice" for developers, last time i checked, thats the wii.

6. how the hell could you possibly know MS is going to beat Sony next gen, when you know absoloutely nothing about how this gen is going to end, or how the next one is going to start? or the consoles being released? sony could pull another ps1 or ps2 and sell 100m consoles, where as microsoft is going to do what? pull an xbox? sell LESS than they will this generation? nintendo or sony will win the next generation, as well as this generation. microsoft will NEVER win a console race.
