So we hear about  Nintendo's Wii soon reaching 50% market share in 7th generation console wars against its arch enemies Microsoft's XBox 360 and last by no means least Sony's PS3.

Well Nintendo closes in on a milestone of 50% market share drastically improving upon last generation Gamecube which only managed 12% market share. 13% market share for XBox. 75% market share for PS2.

Cut to the chase anyway PS2 was 75% market share last generation and now PS3 is only 21.4% market share after 100 million consoles have been sold. From PS2 to PS3 we have seen more than a 50% drop in market share.

What happened to Sony? Nintendo celebrate 50% market share while Sony dwells on where their 50% market share from last generation go.

Anyway I hope you people can fill me in on what happened to Sony.

So what will PS3's final market share end up on?

Wii will eat up the market share and close in on 60%+ market share at the expense of both PS3 and X360 losing more ground on the runaway express train that is Nintendo's Wii.

Sony screwed up. They assumed that after the PS2 success then people would be falling over themselves to buy their system. It didn't happen and now they are struggling to sell a system which is overpriced compared to their rivals and in a position where they cannot cut the price of the PS3 due to the mess the world economy is in. Where do they go is anyones guess.

A different generation and a completely different story. It is comparable to a sports team - champions one year (wins every game) and losers the next season (loses almost everygame). Nintendo rises up,up. Sony falls down, down.

You've been frequenting this site for a while, have three threads with the ps3 in mind and are asking people what happened to sony? You must be in a mood for creating threads however pointless...

Ps3 will end up at 2% market share. Hope that aligns with your thoughts.

PS3 will end up between 15 to 19.9% market share is the sort of answer I was expecting.

The PS3 will end up with nearly 30% market share.

@ numonex

for someone that doesnt like sont you sure start alot of ps3 threads... seems like you have sony envy...just go buy one if you can afford it geez....

The Wii is a fake console. If I don't acknowledge its existance it won't have power over me.

They put too much expensive hardware in the Ps3 and didn't focus on games.

The Wii isn't at 50% yet and could actually take quite a while to get there seeing how it has made virtually no progress in the last 6 weeks or so....

Heck if the PS3 gets a price cut soon, the Wii might not reach 50% before the holydays...
