Woop,I thought you were asking which console gamers will stop supporting 1st.If you're asking which company,then Microsoft.

[QUOTE="thrones"]Microsoft has the most succesful consoleheretrix

Wha?

Probably, Nintendo. The Wii's hardware was outdated the day their engineers put it on paper.

Microsoft would be the obvious answer.heretrix

no it isnt that dosent make any sense ms dropped first last gen because the xbox wasnt selling they arent having that problem this gen

? the 360 isn't doing that much better than the original...

wii is going to last a while.

I think sony if things don't shape up.

So far, it doesn't feel like the "year of the PS3" that sony keeps bragging about even with mgs 4

i disagree, saleswise i think 360 is doing better.

But in terms of games library, 360 is miles better than anything released since the ps2 (in fact, by the end of this gen, it MIGHT reach ps2's height)

Microsoft would be the obvious answer.heretrix

without a doubt it will be MS.

this is a 360 bashing post? come on! tell the truth!

Microsoft will drop support first...

PS3 has a long life ahead(the PS2 lasted/is lasting 9+ years)

Wii, its hard to say, this is the unpridicable one,I mean the wii is a big sucess I dont think they will drop it right away but they might just to support the Wii2(its 50/50 with them)

you guys do know that the 360 is doing alot better than the first xbox right? why on earth would you think microsoft would drop support the same way they did for the first xbox.?

unlike the xbox..the 360 is bringing in a profit.

Microsoft will drop support first...

Don't be so certain. Microsoft only has one prior system, and the main reason that was dropped so soon was because of a dispute with NVIDIA.

LEGEND_C4A

Are you upset that most people have said Microsoft?

It won't be Nintendo considering the sales.

Between Sony and MS, i'd say MS. They DID drop the xbox1 early, and there are signs that the 360 is losing momentum. Sony HAVE said that they want the PS3 to last "10 years" - looking at the PS2, it's probable.

Microsoft

Nintendo

then Sony

Microsoft is the right answer.

It depends on who gets their 8th Generation System out first. All three have had profitable years, so neither system is going anywhere anytime soon.

Microsoft seems like the best answer here. They have a history of being first out of the gate but last to finish the race, so I would put my my money on them.

Sony will probably commit to the PS3 for a while. I see no reason to upgrade in the next several years. Visuals are outstanding, and new controllers can be easily added without redesigning the entire system. I believe that the 10 year product life is an easily attainable goal, and I'm glad that my purchase will have lasted me so long.

As for Nintendo.... they defy all market trends and even logic in general. I couldn't predict their business plan even if I had a crystal ball!
