Sales - The choice of word - View Post

These console wars stories are fun to read, but you have to take them with a Mount Fuji-sized grain of salt. Taking the car analogy still further: Daimler (excluding Chrysler) sold 1.15 million vehicles in 2006. GM sold 9.7 million vehicles in 2006.

Has Daimler lost to GM in the car wars? Of course not. Different car, different price, different market.

The real story is that the Wii is now outselling the PS2 in the wealthier markets of the world - though in Russia and China the PS2 is apparently still going strong. It looks like this may be the PS2's last great holiday season.
