Microsoft Most powerful console available. The Xbox is doing well on its homecourt, but on the road sales aren't dominating. |

Crytek ~ Next-gen overdue, tablets may takeover
Crytek founder Cevat Yerli did an interview with VG247. In the interview Yerli expressed his feelings that the next generation of consoles are overdue, and the longer it takes the next generation to arrive, the more in danger consoles become of being replaced by tablets as gaming devices..

When tablets are pushing graphics that are even in the ballpark of console games, the console generation is showing its age.
That said, I was never one to rush a new generation. If MS hadn't killed the original Xbox about a year too soon, we'd not be in this predicament.

Granted, the 360 has sold more, but it's not like Sony is out of business.

But, Sony is not unquestionably dominant like it was with the PS2. Microsoft stole a huge % of market share from Sony with this generation, and made themselves a real player in the console biz.

Sony's TV division is killing them. Their gaming division did post a loss last quarter due to much worse than expected Vita sales. But before the Vita launched, I think Sony's video game division had a solid 2 years of profits.
But their TV division is just draining the company. I think I've read it's posted 8 straight years of losses, we're talking about huge amounts of money.

On the PS3 and Xbox360 note, while the PS3 did sell close to as many xbox360's, the problem is the XBOX360 at one point was 20million more systems sold, that millions upon millions of more games/controllers/accesories sold.
Thus why MS is kicking ass in their gaming division while, Sony is "getting by".

Can 2 years make up for 5 ? 6 years of loss? |

I wouldnt say they "stole" a huge % of market share as much as they filled the void in the market. Sony only had that market share because there was pretty much no one else to give it too.

James Bond WAS the game to play in college from when it released in 1997 till about 2001, along with Mario Kart 64. I guess you didn't go to college?
