Despite launching a year after Xbox 360, PS3 has significantly closed the global installed base. Sony as a company, has a history in hardware, unlike Microsoft. However, the dynamics of the games business are changing, and networks are becoming more important. Neil Young, ngmoco founder, believes Microsoft's ultimately in a better position for the future.

Speaking to IndustryGamers, Young discussed the impact of digital distribution, cloud technology and more on the traditional games platform holders.

"In the hardware world, I think Sony’s massively out of position. I think they’re in trouble. I think Microsoft’s in much better shape," Young asserted.

"They understand cloud computing; the Xbox Live service is a world-class service, and they’ve got a foothold in mobile, albeit a tenuous one. I think they’re in better shape," he continued, adding, "I think Nintendo always has the benefit of its franchises, but I don’t think it ends up being a really rich ecosystem for third parties."

The once standard five-year console cycle has been completely thrown off course, and exactly where the future lies in games hardware is a big question mark right now. We'll be curious to see if we all end up ultimately owning various set-top boxes as the world moves to games as services rather than boxed product.

To sum it all, Microsoft has certain advantages to Sony, which may cause Microsoft to finallly Triumph.

It really doesn't give any good reasoning. I think this guy is just a 360 fanboy.

^^Just my opinion.
