lol, how can you possibly think this... .did Microsoft quit after their failure that was the Xbox? Why would Sony quit with a console that did better.

 

 

The Xbox wasn't a failure..... technology-wise when it was far more superior in power to the PS2. In addition, it came in second place. What made the Xbox suck was the lack of games. It's not Microsoft's fault Sony acquired 90% of third parties on their side during Microsofts first go. Microsoft made them eat it this gen by taking the most popular 3rd party games on their system. If Microsoft can pump out some good first and second party this gen while keeping third party coming in, they will have a very good fanbase for next gen.

 

he didnt say it wont have a good fan base next gen, or that it doesnt this gen, he said xbox was a failure  and he's right it kinda was


 

It had potential just like the PS3 does. The only reason the PS3 has different results is Sony managed to hold onto a couple more third party companies and have a loyal fanbase.

 

I find it insaulting that your comparing PS3 to the origional xbox, it took xbox 5 years to sell 24 million ps3 has only been selling for 3 years, and in europe its only been selling 2 years and has generated nearly 22 million ,exactly sony managed to get hold of not a couple but a lot of good games , and the origonal xbox didnt it failed end of

 

 

Whats so insulting about knowing Sony thought more about hardware specs than gaming, just like Microsoft did their first time around? The major difference between the Xbox and the PS3 was the fact that Sony already had a major fanbase which still exists during the PS3 era (which the Xbox didn't have during the first go), and they managed to hold onto a few more third party groups such as Konami and Sucker Punch.
