I bought the Xbox and Xbox 360 at launch as did I every other system that has come out in the USA since the NES. This is the first launch (both the Xbox One and PS4) that I'm going to skip. Too much hype, not enough substance for me. I have a huge backlog of great games still and with all those great Wii U announcements (big grin) today, I'll stay very busy for a long time.
As for Microsoft, I'm a bit confused as to why they continue with the Xbox. The 360 did great compared to how the original did, but lifetime to date, the Xbox division has lost Billions of dollars. There must be something that they think they can achieve to make it worth it, I'm just not sure what. Even Sony, with as great as the PS & PS2 did, their LTD profits are rather low considering.
Nintendo had they weakest showing, but I somehow think that they will continue rolling in the money.
