I don't see how PS3 will manage an eventual second place...

 

Sony domination starts in 2006 2007 2008 2009

VGChartz Hardware data for the period 16th Dec 2006 to 08th Nov 2008:

Console	PS3	X360
Total	15,933,226	15,745,265

Even if i want too see good things for sony in that post.... I cant find it

outselling the xbox360 by only 200,000 units in 2 year lol "the RROD machine"

Lmao by the way xbox 360 has in reality 5a6 million more units sold

Cheapest PS3 in UK cost 290£ on amazon, cheapest x360 cost 120£.

Btw, in reality x360 launched 1 year earlier.

Killergran, then which number of sales is considered as domination?

 

Price matters more than launch times. Saturn beat PS1 to launch, but its $400 price tag vs $300 price tag and lack of early games killed it. Over time, PS1's price lead remained as it continued to cut its price. It stands to reason that next year the 360 pro will be $250, thus keeping the $100 price difference between the standard PS3 and 360 models.

 

Actually, the Saturn's price was eventually cheaper than the PSOne before the discontinuation of the Saturn while the N64 was also cheaper than the PSOne. Also, the Gamcube was cheaper than the PS2. But I do not agree with CrazzyMan's assertion of domination, but I do think that SONY has done an excellent job of staying in the game with no foreseeable signs of waivering. The big picture here is that the PS3 is VERY successful for being released one year after the 360 only in two major territories, has plenty of 3rd party support, the 360's one year lead did not prove to be the runaway success as the PS2 was (a lie by Microsoft because the Dreamcast was released before the PS2), and the PS3 is still the most expensive console. Now, it's easy to point and laugh at the PS3 and its users because it's in third place. That's what 10 year olds do (not referring to you, Hawk.) But it's SONY's turn this gen who's pushing competition because they sold the most consoles the last two gens, forcing both Nintendo and Microsoft to compete more fiercely now. And I don't think that everyone will agree that the PS3 is everyone's system of choice, but there is no doubt that its offering are worthy because being in third place this gen is still a good position given the context of the console gaming market. Congrads to the growth and vitality of the console gaming industy and also to SONY for making a third place console thus far more viable and legit than any gen as of date. All sales are good. Be happy with it.

 

Why does he choose dec 16 2006 and not the launch of the PS3?  take a guess.
