Nintendo did it with the Wii in the past, it was the right thing because in a war of attrition Nintendo would come out the loser. They changed their course and it paid off tremendously for them. I believe that Microsoft has gone head to head with Sony but the battle is getting stale. By changing their direction, I believe Xbox is getting closer to its original pedigree and the one of the 360, xbox's best platform since its beginnings. I believe that by pushing games and availability of those games, they are going to come out winners. Perhaps their hardware sales will decrease, but the software is what really matters in the end, and those may very well end up drastically increasing. It will be important to follow software sales next gen due to this, to get a better idea of Microsoft's popularity going forward. |
Surprisingly, you managed to all say this without mentioning the strength of Sony and how it disrupt the console market, and how both Nintendo and MS had to adjust their vision to create a market for themselves...
