None of that negates what I said.

Besides, you need more than the US and UK, as Nintendo and Sony continue to prove.

In regards to winning a console generation, it does. Winning a console generation is more about money than sales or at least to me. I thought gamecube was more successful than original xbox because at least gamecube turn in a profit. I'll take 360 over ps3 because ps3 pretty much lost Sony all the money they made off ps1 and ps2. I think Apple is way more successful with iPhone despite selling less than samsung phones because it is way more profitable. All Microsoft has to do for the next console is not mess up the launch and they will win U.S and U.K. over which will mean they aren't going anywhere anytime soon.

Attach rate between PS3 and 360 were nearly identical globally, with 360 barely squeezing out half a game more per console sold. And in fact, the attach ratio for PS3 was higher in NA (though 360 had higher raw numbers). As far as making money is concerned, I seem to remember both platforms hemorrhaging a bit of money for other reasons. One of those companies just happened to be able to fall back on being one of the richest companies on earth.

 

And in order for MS to win the US and UK next generation, they'll need to prove they're capable delivering exclusive content, not screw the pooch as fard as they did in 2013, and hope that Sony screws the pooch as hard as they did in 2006.
