I think they are market leader in terms of video games soriku.. the playstation brand has more than 60% of the market.

 

That doesn't transfer to them being the market leader! You need to learn more... And 60%+ with/without PS2? Should be without 'cause PS2's last gen. They only own 48.7% with the PSP and PS3 total. 31.7% PSP, 17% PS3. And since Sony only own their F-P/S-P games and not T-P, they don't dominate in the VG part. ML in terms of games...LOL. You crack me up.

i know you haven't graduated high school yet.... but you can't just add the numbers like that. otherwise nintendo would have >100% market share along with ps3 having 48.7%

you take the percentage multiplied by the size of the market.

so the psp has 31.7% of the handheld market, multiplied by the percentage handheld market is (i don't know) x% of the total market. and you get like 10% from that. and then the ps3 is 17% of the console market, multiplied by y% gives you another number. and you add those. i'm guessing it comes to closer to 33% if you're combining hand held and consoles.

 EDIT: this explanation sucks, and i apologize. i'm tired. and going to bed
