Each major player fit a tight niche in this current, almost over generation. 1. Microsoft dominated the online gaming community between Xbox LIVE and PC gaming, without question, and therefore would win this poll without a doubt. 2. Wii locked down the family/casual party genre, and the sales of the Wii compared to the other consoles prove they had the largest spread of demographics. 3. Sony pushed the limit on graphics and other hardware for epic singleplayer games, but failed to make headway against XBL with their PSN. This coming generation, everyone's looking to renew their appeal to the hardcore gamer while keeping the down open for social and casual gamers. Nintendo and Sony have both pursued that strategy and Microsoft's in line to do the same thing. Nintendo failed, since they didn't make the WiiU appealing to the same people who backed them for the Wii. It goes without saying that Sony and Microsoft will have the ultimate competition, perhaps the biggest and most significant console war yet, this holiday season. Sony looks properly geared for the fight. We'll see how Microsoft responds in only a few weeks, but with Sony revealing first and Microsoft waiting two months to respond to me tips the advantage M$ in terms of making sure their console can do as much or more and more importantly [i]better[/i] than the PS4.
