PearlJam said: I really don't think MS is upset about how this gen has played out. The last PlayStation was a dominant system that no other console came close to even scratching. This time around the PS3 is in third place, and if everything goes well it might secure 2nd at best. I don't understand how people think this is good for Sony and bad for Microsoft. That would be like a new Apple OS taking away most of Microsoft's customers and people trying to spin that even though the latest Windows OS is in last place, it might catch up to the Apple OS by the end of the cycle. |
Someone deserves a medal here and his name is PearlJam.
It's kinda ironic some people take second place clinching so seriously when in fact their console was in first place for years without a scratch, and now all of a sudden will throw a party when the PS3 takes second place (which it will most likely due unless Natal and a potential price cut has a huge effect). For MS selling this many units It's more of a surprise then anything else when Sony should have had second place in the bag regardless of price (Brand Recognition, AAA exclusives, Third Party support etc.) when you look at the PS2.
It's just that simple.
