This was my first thought. How will this work when the PS3 launched $200 more, a year later, and did practically everything to kill itself, yet still won't come in 3rd place? Out of the gate, the PS4 has no such issues. |
Your acting as if Microsoft was some established brand going against another established brand. There is a lot more to judge the success of a console race than saying my company sold 1 million more than you.
You can't ignore profits, market share, and mind share.
Going from 25 million to 77 million is a major success.
Going from 100 plus to just passing your rivals at the end of the cycle while losing market and mind share and your company in shambles is not a win.
And please save me the 3rd place crap. Sony just passed Microsoft by a pubic hair and now OMG Microsoft is going into the next gen in 3rd place how will they ever handle it.
