[QUOTE="BlueBarad"][QUOTE="Mandingo101"] microsoft will never win a generation, ever. you can quote me on that i could care less to be honest cus it is true. the xbox brand is unpopular outside of NA, its slightly popular with america's BFF the UK, then when you start going down the list it goes downhill fast. the xbox brand didnt popularize itself worldwide last gen, and in one year without competition and almost a 2nd year with almost none as the other systems didnt have the time 360has had to build a library of games, the brand has failed to reach the worldwide audience as it hoped and failed to diversify their library. go down the list of million sellers on 360 and you can tell the crowd the brand appeals to, hardcore gamers. what sells on the xbox brand? shooters and sports for the most part, after 2 years and after some attempts to get a more diverse library the fanbase is not having it, they want what they want, shooters and sports.
both the playstation and nintendo brands have proven worldwide appeal more than once, and the xbox brand has failed to do so after 2 attempts and this is why they wont win a generation.

I will not disagree with you. But you just reinforced my theory. They are just starting to get the brand going. Sony and Nintendo have been around forever and MS is just starting.
If you think about it, they are doing an outstanding job at it.
Example: Capcom is on board. Konami is starting to show support. Project Slyphed is an exclusive Square Enix title for the 360...and so on. It will take a while though.
Wow nice logic there bud....I wonder how the playstation1 come upon beating the nintendo brand, when the nintendo was alot well know in the gaming industry then playstation was when it first launched! And dont try using Sony as a brand that was well known around the world....I'm pretty sure Microsoft (windows) is being used everywhere in the world..from alaska all the way to china!
2 things. The use of CDs over Cartridges, which were cool at the time. And the support of third party developers.
