OMG!!!!Pay attention to Nintendo numbers hahaha those are some really numbers. Almost 4 million... US alone? What about canada and mexico?? This shit is amazing. Super Mario Bros Wii.... :O Another take for X360 & Ps3.... Does it really matter? Looking it as a whole, Microsoft already won. It doesn't matter if at the end Ps3 sells more (which is gonna happen, at the end of this gen ps3>X360). But Microsoft has already taken a big chunk of what Sony had. I believe that Sony lost this gen. Just look at the ps2, completely dominated. But now we have that the wii is shattering everything, and that the X360 is fighting neck to neck vs Ps3, even though PS3 has something the X360 will never have.... Japan. So, when I look at the sales right now, MS already won. Yeah, ps3 won December by... 50k? (R u serious?) but at then end, Sony is the one that has lost the most. MS has done well, Xbox is now recognize as a big competitor in both US and Europe, and has taken a lot from what Sony used to have. Competition is good for everyone. Now, on another note.... Damn Nintendo, you have done it well. I wonder if they are gonna have a bigger year in 2010? Bigger Holidays? Just bring the black wii, and a few bundles and this year will be awesome... once again. |
I agree. This was definitely a big shift, MS went from 25 million to 39 million which is a big win for them. But most importantly they've actually been making money on their gaming division for more than two years now and have continued to dominate the software charts. Pretty big feat for the underdog in the industry. I would put Sony's biggest accomplishment in getting blu-ray to become the standard. However the PS3 have made them lose a lot of money and they're continuously forced to reduce price in order to keep in the market share race thus making them lose more money still. Nintendo is of course the biggest winner, selling Wiis at high margins in big quantities is a definite business success.
