Microsoft's console market share went from 35% in 2005 to 17% this year. That's beyond megafailure, into the realm of gigafailure.

The basic reason is that Microsoft is run by a gaggle of accidental billionaires who owe their fortune to an accidental, IBM-created monopoly. These geniuses rushed the 360 to market with insufficient testing, atrocious reliability, no next-gen storage capacity, no standard hard drive, and no long-term studio strategy.

By contrast, Sony's game division and Nintendo are run by smart, media-savvy people who understand there's no point in trying to preserve existing media monopolies in the digital era.
