| Diablerie said: I don't agree with any of this. I almost replied to the "Microsoft DEFEETED Sony thread" but somehow I held it off. Sony is not defeated. Nothing is wrong. The Playstation brand is not falling. How often do people need to be reminded. year 1 year 2 year 3 year 4 PS3: 5,856,110 16,871,475 20,809,951 (current year) 360: 5,895,015 13,631,951 23,279,252 28,913,386 (current year) The above info is from this website. The above numbers might be off a bit depending on which week you choose, but as you can see, for each systems first year they were pretty much side by side for sales. Things look very different for the next year. The PS3 in it's second year outsold the 360 by a little over 3 million for it's second year. And moving onto the PS3's third year, which is the year we are in and it is far from over. The PS3 only needs a little less than 3 million to outsell the 360. There is even this to back up my info. I'm sure "some" of you have seen it. http://news.vgchartz.com/news.php?id=2954 This is the only thing I really need to say to sony. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjtbhmQhsXg

True, except taking out of consideration any megatons to tip the favour one way or another, this means that the PS3 will need at least another year on top of the 360 in order to catch up/surpass. It'll probably do that, but by that time, won't MS have launched the next box by then? (At which point making it irrelevant).
I do agree that Sony made alot of big mistakes for the good of their company (pushing blu-ray), but I think it's a smart business move overall (taking into account all of Sony's departments). I would assume that the PS4 will be PS3.5 (in terms of power), in which case in retrospect, the leap to HD and Blu-ray that cost them this gen, may well secure their standing for the next generation.
