I dont like the term either. Thats why I always say the HD Consoles and not HDtwins. The term HDtwins is used to differenciate the HD Consoles from the Wii. Thats why they are counted together in marketshare. The Wii opened a new way of gaming which is different the HD Consoles are the classic consoles they have just changed in terms off power and graphic (and online) So the HD Console marketshare shows how big the classical gaming market is and its still bigger then the new market the videogame market has split up in two pieces. They are completly different the audiences are different the HD Consoles share everything the gamers the games the functionality. The difference between the PS3 and the Xbox 360 is much smaller then the difference between the Wii. Thats why they are called HD Twins even though most its an insult for the PS3 in my eyes because it has clearly an advantage technically (Bluray default HD and better graphics atleast now).

Who has a vested interest in counting them together?  That I don't understand unless it is a fanboy who is embarrassed by the Wii selling as well as been




That has nothing to do with some sort of Victory. You seem to dont understand what this is all about. That the HD Consoles are counted together is no thing to be proud of or to show that the HD Consoles "win". Its just a way to show how big the High Definition marked compared to the NON high definition marked is. To show how many people show interested in this technology. Because the HD Platforms have so many similarities thats another reason why 3rd party games are developed mainly on the HD Consoles you dont have to change your engine because they have similar specifications. So thats why the 3rd party developer focus on the HD Consoles because together they have a bigger marketshare then the leader. WHich is the first time in history like this. Because the leader had alaways 60% or more marketshare. Thats why the WII dont get the most 3rd party games even if its the leader. Some people claim that it is because the Industry hates the WII but in a buisness feeling like hate or love are irrelevant.
