LOL, i am counting only the consoles PlayStation was competing with.I didnt counted PSX and PocketStation because they were only realised in Japan. PS2 never competed with GBA, Sony didnt have handheld back then. I was counting 4 consoles vs. 4 consoles and PlayStation obviusoly win. Nobody plays SNES and NES anymore, , but i think there are still people out there who are playing N64 and PS1. PS1 was more popular than N64, PS2 was MUCH MORE popular than GameCube and Wii is more popular than PS3 for now.
I dont get it why people are comparing company and brand. Nintendo is not a brand, Nintendo is a video game company. PlayStation have PS1, Ps2, PSP and PS3. That's only 4 machines and its still THE MOST POPULAR BRAND out there
Nintendo have NES, SNES, Gameboy, Gameboy colour, N64, GBA, GameCube and wii. That's 8 machines. Twice as much as PlayStation. That's why is not fair to compare company like Nintendo and brand like Playstation. Its same like comparing Microsoft and Ipod.
The most pupular brand: PlayStation The most popular video game company: Nintendo |
Whether or not Sony was trying to compete against any product directly has no impact on the brand popularity. The GBA was out there, and enjoyed by tens of million of customers. That increase brand name recognition. If your measure of brand name is units sold over a persiod of time then the GBA is fair game, and puts Nintendo over the top. Its a stupid way to compare brand name recognition though so the point is kind of moot.
Edit: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Nobody plays the SNES or NES anymore? So the whole Virtual Console is a failed idea and they should only focus on the N64 era of video games for it?
