the thread is about winning a generation not being the most profitable.

so it is solely down to sales position.

The winner of the generation is the one that makes the most profit. So Nintendo won every generation, but will lose this one.

Looking purely at how much something sold is something only gaming fans do on forums.


You're just repositioning the goal posts so it would favor your favorite brand.

Nope, just looking at the only thing companies care for: money. If I was truly repositioning my goal posts (not points) then I wouldn't say profit matters when PS4 looks set to make the most profit this gen. Which is what truly matters. Otherwise a company would give away free consoles to achieve the highest userbase and go bankrupt in a year.

Well apparently, that's your opinion and yours, only. Everyone else here is gauging victory by the amount of marketshare captured.

I believe that MS will win at the very least one console gen if they change the way they handle the world wide gaming market. It's not all about the states.

Maybe not sales wise, but they won last gen imo...


lol They did not win last Gen. They had a full year head start & was half the price of the PS3 for a while and still could not hold on to their lead. They also had no exclsuives the last few years but Gears & Halo. It was bad.

You're taking this way too seriously. Here's a gif to lighten your mood.

Unless Playstation goes the way of the dodo.. I highly doubt it.

Maybe not, but it had the better versions of most multi platform games. It also helped gain MS a bigger chunk of the market. It had great exclusives when it mattered the most.
