Gaming wise you are right no doubt. Engineering wise it's very debatable.

Great job by Microsoft. Even though 360 sales seem to be slowing down the 360 should sell 60 million at least by the time it's done.

Hopefully Microsoft will learn from some of their mistakes this gen as good competition is always welcome :)

Its really going to be interesting to see what effect the motion controllers have in 2010-2011. There ... there hasn't been anything like this before in any generation. Once again this gen is proving to rewrite the rules on what to expect.

Microsoft is very very good in not overshipping/undershipping.

That's not 100% true:

 

Microsoft's Fiscal Year 2006-07


Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 FY LTD

PS2 3.4 6.7 2.4 2.7 15.2 25.2

360 1.0 4.4 0.5 0.7 6.6 11.6

PS3 - 1.7 1.8 0.7 4.2 4.2

WII - 3.1 2.7 3.4 9.2 9.2

 

That's a clear case of overshipping in Q2

Thats was because MS was flooding the canals to get to the 10 million mark first.............stupid really

And it was Christmas .....

 The point is that they have overshipped before, regardless of the reason or excuse.
