remember when MS claims "1st to 10m units sold wins"

Nintendo Wii surpassed their total units sold in under 1 year

when they were talking about winning... they werent talking against a novelty item that grandmas and little children love. I havent played my Wii since the horrible experience with Super Paper Mario...Wii failed gamers bad.

Highest rated game of this gen? Also thanks to backwards compatibility you can play the highest rated game of last gen too. And thanks to VC you can play the one from the gen before that.

Winning to them obviously means the same as to the other companies.

To sell the most consoles. To at least make a profit.

I'd be surprised if Microsoft manages either this generation.

I agree. I strongly believe that at seeing the arrogant Sony stumble very hard in it's first year, Microsoft has become the cocky one.They seem oblivious to what's going on.

Then be ready to be surprised. A little after the launch of Halo 3, Microsoft's Entertainment and Devices Division (which the Xbox 360 is part of) posted a profit.

and remember when they said that the 360 had a design problem so any 360 could break down at anytime

just tought I would bring that back

Microsoft didn't count on competition they thought they will have this gen to themselfSwift_Boss_A

Kinda like how Sony said they didn't need games to sell PS3 hardware.

No. Just like how Microsoft said they would sell 1 billion software

"1st to 10 million units sold wins"?

You know, the Xbox 360 did come out a year eariler than the Playstation 3 and the Wii.

Remember when sony said multiple sku's we're confusing for the user and they couldn't understand why microsoft was going that route?WilliamRLBaker

2 is confusing? :S

The PS2 came out nearly 2 years before the XBOX and GCN. Your point?

I'm talking about MS's claim that whoever sells 10 million first wins. When making a claim like that given the system's circumstances, it's obvious that they may be saying that they're the winners. The 360 had a very good chance of selling 10 mil. first.

remember when they aimed to sell 1 billion?!akif22

i think you have misinterpreted that

Ya, 1 billion =/= 1 billion

They were just speaking the truth based on console sales in history and what is the big deal about launching first? The PS2 did and was very successful. The 360 did and is already, will be very successful. I don't see the debate.

Please.. I have had a Wii since launch day and waited for a pre order before the launch.. I expected much more. I have a 1080P TV and just cant bring myself to play the games...there are no hardcore competitive games with refined online capabilities...playing games by yourself was something I could do 10 years ago.
