I cannot deny the success of Microsoft and the Xbox360, they have truly faught on through and established themselves as the HD console of choice.

 

Console of choice?

VGChartz data for sales for 2008 to date: Wii 19.8 million, PS3 8.7 million, X360 8.4 million, PS2 6.5 million. Which puts Nintendo at 46% of the console market, Sony at 35% and Microsoft at 19%. Back in 2005, Microsoft had 30% market share.

 

 

Sony at 35% ?

I guess you are counting the "Playstation Brand" rather than just Sony's HD console (AKA PS3). As he said, the "HD console of choice"

 

While the PS3 is currently beating the 360 this year, it's pretty obvious it will outsell the PS3 by year's end.

Not that Sony isn't putting up a great fight, considering the price difference, but who would of thought the sales race would be this close? The PS2 totally dominated the Xbox and Gamecube last gen. You can't tell me you expected the sales to be like this 2 years after launch.

 

Having said that, I'm playing my PS3 every day. Either games or streaming video content from my PC.

Haven't touched the 360 or Wii in months.
