Nope, nothing that is already in its fourth generation is still in its infancy.  That like saying when the first Model T rolled off the assembly line the automotive industry was still in its infancy.  The infancy period is like the first 5 to 10 years of any industy.  By the time 4th generation started video games where around for almost 20 years already.

This going to be my last reply.  It's obvious you lost the debate, as you are focusing on something that isn't the main point because you can't argue the main point.  And that is the XBO is doing poorly on all accounts.  To even make it seem like a success you are comparing it to when the gaming market was MUCH smaller.  The whole market wasn't even 95M during the first 4 gens.  And now we have single consoles selling more than that each gen.

I didn't loose the debate again you need to brush up video game history.  And no the XBox is not doing poorly on all accounts the only piece of hardware that did that in the last 10 years is the Sony Vita it failed both in the hardware and software department.  Also the market wasn't really that much smaller just a lot more people played games on PC instead of consoles.  Plus the wolrd population was smaller by 2 billion people and you still had the iron curtain and China was basically still isolated from the west.  The big crash only affected the North American market.  The console market in Japan wasn't really affected by it and in Europe the majority of people played video games on PC's instead of consoles the C64 and other lower priced PC's were beasting in Europe during the crash.  A large chunck of the NES library started out as PC games that right there shows you how dominat PC gaming was.
