"..Microsoft has come hard this generation with an early start and has continued to compete and outdo Sony, sales wise, despite the 140m+ fan base Sony had last generation."

Because its all about the 8 million more Xbox360 owners. I just find it hard to believe that Sony's doing alot worst than MS just from 8 million people. PS3 isnt that far behind with the price its at.

 

It's not about 8 million people. It's about going from a 115 million unit advantage last generation to being 8 million behind now. And rising. That's a 123 million unit swing from last gen. That's huge.

Well then something's wrong with these people because you cant honestly believe that Sony will continue to dominate as they did last gen unless the competitors are still dumb and didnt learn from their experience.  As we can see, MS and Nintendo learned alot from their previous gen and utilized it.  Did these people think that regardless of MS and Nintendo's plan, Sony will dominate just because they did last gen?

 

 

Yeah, alot ppl thought Sony would kick MS and Ninty's ass back in 2005 and 2006. One of my favorite predictions from an analyst predicted something like 120 million PS3's, 40 million 360's and 15 million Wii's at the end of the gen. The standard thinking was Sony will chug along as they have the last 2 gens, MS will see a modest increase, and Nintendo will flounder following the failure of the GC.
