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.


lmao

yeah with a 60m install base that really gonna happen

seriously the only loser (if there has to be one... I dont think there has to be one this gen btw) is Sony.  they collapsed from a very very lofty 1st to also rans.


60m install base.

They haven't even shipped that much. But if you are talking about future, sure, as I said, I am talking about MS support, not the third party support.

Sony is definitely a loser this gen. I mean, not only did they lose the blu-ray - HD DVD war, they are also going to be 3rd place this gen as well. We are hardly getting any exclusives from Sony this year too. No support :(
