They already cleaned their reputation this one, but they did it too late. Now, if they take this and run with it, they might win next gen. This has never been a decided race, and when you're dealing with a company who, when pissed, can simply retort to brute forcing things to go their way by paying/intimidating/taking forcefully over something, there is never a clear winner. Let's face it, they lost because they had a group of fools in charge. If they wanted, next gen they could crush the competition effortlessly by leveraging Windows alongside the Xbox brand (just think about how far better the Xbox would sell if it could double as a branded PC and play PC games AND Xbox exclusive games).

Also, I am afraid I don't follow with the whole hardware part when they still create the best smartphones and the Surface brand has been getting a lot of points over the Macbook and iPad computers. Thinking otherwise is nothing but denial and if you insist on it, you're a fool. 

And when the gen is over, people forget everything that happened. Also, the last generation ended before the PS3 could close the gap (it ended when the Wii U was out. The PS3 took another two to three months to close the gap) so the Xbox 360 was a second place. In other words, MS can still take the first place (and make it final) next gen if they actually try rather than getting comfy, so spare me all the doom and gloom speech worthy of a fatalistic hater... 

Rather interesting perception you got there dude.
