When word first got out that Microsoft was planning to get into the game console business, I was skeptical. First, I was skeptical that the rumors were true, and when they turned to be true I was skeptical that the console would have any impact on the market. Today, as an Xbox owner myself, I'm glad to say I was wrong. Microsoft was able to leverage their software expertise and deep pockets to rapidly develop a console that didn't just have an impact on the console market, but went from zero to second place in terms of market share.
