Unless nintendo and sony quit the console market, i don't see they winning any next gen.

I think MCSFT will go out of the console race next generation. And obviously, its not gonna win the current one.

This will be their last gaming console so they never will.

ya now, maybe next gen (if we have one) Microsoft was good with 360 but ok with xbone. We still have more to come idk if it will pass ps4 but doesnt look like it

No and no. This may be their last "console." 

personally I think it could potentially be the last console from all three of them, They cost too much investment wise to develop and market, return too little profit wise and the market is arguably shrinking. though if one was going to stop making consoles I would expect Sony to be the first to pull the ripcord.

Well, Sony is making money and Nintendo will once again, make a lot of money even if the Wii-U continues to sell at it's current pace. MS has a new boss, and the Xbox brand is pretty irrelevant now. Everything they've tried to do so far has been one fuck up after another. Kinect has been ditched as a vision, studios are closing etc. So I wouldn't be shocked if they called it quits in the console wars and left Sony and Nintendo to duke it out next gen.

If every territory in the world minus the USA gets sucked into a black void then MS might have a chance to win a gen!

Not at this point.  Everything MS ever does that isn't Windows/Office is a half@ss attempt at leeching off an existing market.  Name a product, and I will tell you how.

 

Until they commit and get some managment who actually care about what they are selling, they will always be a small part of the markets they are in (Cellphone, console, tablet).

Ugh i hope not, while i am a "sony pony" i eventually end up with all consoles, i like variety, but i firmly reconise the ps4 is awesome because the x360 pushed it to be.
