Console Wars are mostly dead...

I think the next gen will see the rise of consoles to challenge PC in every possible way. 

We hear the same thing every console generation. It never happens. PC is here to stay.

Besides, you want the PC to be successful, because it's the PC technology that is leading the industry, which is driven by billions of dollars of consumer demand, which then trickles down into other markets such as console and even mobile to an extent.

Occurences of losing:

Nintendo: N64, GC, Wii U.
Sony: PSP, PS3, PSV.
Microsoft: Xbox, 360, One.

Three times for each camp.

If something shifts million units world-wide and was profitable, I don't think we could logically categorize them as a failure? Just a marginal success.
