Sony didn't stand pat on the PS3, yet somehow the XBox & Wii have left it in the dust. Unthinkable a few years ago. I don't believe Microsoft will ever leave Apple in the dust...but when I say the writing is on the wall, I mean that the time is close that Microsoft will be a very serious #2 in this market.
Makes sense but in reality it's the consumers pocketbook that will determine that. MS needs to do a much better job of promoting it.
