Hmmm...let's look at the possibility of maybe a stronger brand name. I give you the word "Wii". Here are the sales of various items under the branding "Wii".
Nintendo Wii console=49 million consoles sold
Wii Sports=44 million copies sold
Wii Play=22.5 million copies sold
Mario Kart Wii=15 million copies sold
Wii Fit=17 million copies sold
Wii Music=2.5 million copies sold
Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree=3 million copies sold
Soon to be added...Wii Sports Resort
Let's forget all that for a minute and just say Playstation is the strongest brand. Here are the reasonings:
1. Excuses involving price to explain away lame sales to show it is a strong brand
2. Anecdotal evidence involving random people associating videogaming with the word "Playstation"
3. To be continued later in this thread I'm sure
4. Reserved for the next lame excuse presented after the #3 spot gets filled
DId I miss anything? Gosh, now that I look at the reasoning, Playstation sure does sound the strongest. It's so strong in fact that it's pushing a healthy third place behind lame brand names nobody can remember like Microwho and Nintenwhat.

your forgetting one thing
PlayStation 1 sales - 110 million
PlayStation 2 sales - 135+ million
Sony expanded the market for two generations. This is why PlayStation is a WAY stronger and most refered to brand name for most people.

Do you have some sort of proof that Playstation is more refered to by most people? Please I want to see the study at least that you can provide me to even somewhat back up that load of anecdotal nonsense.
Sure those sales are nice. They are large. They are in the past though. I never said Playstation was never the strongest brand name in gaming. I'm simply saying it's no longer that. The name "Wii" is the strongest and my current sales involving the fastest selling console in history and the four of the biggest selling games in history (including the biggest) having that brand name puts the argument squarely in my favor.
