Microsoft in unique position to disrupt Sony's console reign

I agree with some of your points, but what I tried to argue with the other user is the fact that Microsoft has the power to disrupt Sony's console marketplace. They've already done it in the past, something the other user didn't agree on.

They have? I think Wii was a bigger disruption than 360. And add to Wii the fact that Sony distrupted itself, 360 just happened to be in the right place at the right time, and was able to take advantage of a situation not of its own making.

 

It's really hard to say what would have happened if 360 wasn't around during the Wii and PS3 era. I'd think the difference in sales between both, even if I do agree the Wii definitively disrupted Sony's reign, would have been much, much closer than how it is right now. 360 wasn't only at the right place, they also brought such an agressive marketing and actively took advantage of every single mistake Sony made (since MS wanted to compete with Sony primarily, not with Nintendo).
