This is a very unfair way of looking at it. After last gen, MS and Nintendo could only go up because GC and Xbox utterly failed against the dominating PS2. Can't expect them to continue dominating forever. |
It's actually the correct way to look at it, although I don't think you can call Sony, at least the play station brand a loser this generation. but in terms of profibilty and just a increase in market share overall Sony just wasn't able to compete with ms and Nintendo this generation. Sales are important and Sony has done a great job of getting on top in sales, but sometimes where you sell is more important and while this a diverse community the USA is still the single most important market and while it may upset many to hear this Japan is almost irrelevant at this point given its economic power. Keep in mind Sony has been damaged so much this generation, the actual existence of Sony as a company is in question in the next 10 years.
