| mantlepiecek said: MS wanted to gain market share from Sony and they got it, but they had to ship broken consoles to achieve it. In the end, I would say the one who actually won is Sony because they are not only catching up to MS, they are not going to ignore their fanbase in the process(original xbox anyone? RROD anyone? Kinect anyone?), and they are still only $299 price range. AND even then, they are catching up, reducing the gap with each quarter. You can almost say goodbye to xbox 360 support if it ends up being in the third place. Same thing can't and won't be said about the PS3, because its in 3rd place and its doing mighty good for a 3rd place console. It hasn't even reached $199, when it does you can expect Sony to go above the second position permanent. Wii is the only system that took real market share from Sony, not MS. 2.88 million difference with a $100 price difference and 1 year headstart.... Tough competition indeed. |
360 took ALOT of market share from Playstation BRAND... Look at SW sales in US back in 2003 and see them now and you will see that... Madden sold better on Ps2 times and all the others game and now Ps3 is absolutely destroyed over there when it cames to every type of game in US , Cod , MAdden , Fallout etc... MS wetn from 24M to 50M and Counting , the steal consumers from Sony and im one of those , Wii Stole the Casual userbase , MS took alot of CoRe Gamers to their Console and will Call of duty mainly advertised for Xbox Brand Halo and Gears... i cant see that changing anytime soon... But strange things happen... Everything is possible... Serious who thought Wii would be in 1st after gamecube ?? Fuck no one! Everything can change in a single year... in Fact everything can change this year and PSP2 beat the hell out of 3DS.
