I don't think any one who has Microsoft share will be unhappy at the mo as they could be on the end of the biggest share holder pay out of all time!!!! Also the Home & Entertainment division of Microsoft was around and losing money well before the Xbox was on the Scene yet it was aloud to do so for over 5 years with out compliant from share holders! How in the light of getting the biggest pay out of all time on top of ever increasing shares really don't care and will let Microsoft moving into what ever areas they want with or with out lose. At the end of the day share holders like my self are only after one thing and that’s money, if the Xbox was stopping them from getting money it would be a problem but its not so get off the subject!!!!

Oh and as for “ we’re not talking about which system will dominate the industry ”! Well you might not be talking that way cuss it makes Nintendo look so bad but the rest of us are (so get over it)!!!!! Also it a bit stupid not to talk that way the company which sales the most console in the end will make the most money back off software sales. I can pretty much guaranty with the next generation of consoles coming so fast Nintendo will not have the time to make its hardware so cheep next time round and if it does not included some of the added in extras you get with the next Sony and Microsoft console it will fail big time and you will see Nintendo full out of the home console market a lot faster then you think is possible.
