No..

Playstation sells WAYY more software than XBOX, and sells WAYY more hardware, every part of the world..

so Playstation is still a much bigger brand than Xbox, and always has been.

If you want to be technical then yes , sony does way more software and hardware than MS BUT that is only because they have 3 platforms on the market compared to MS having only one......if you want to evaluate brand power you need to compare both of them on an equal platform and that is comparing the 360 and ps3.

The 360 sells more software and has a higher market penetration than the ps3......that is the jist of my logic.

no.because your trying to single out just one part of a company's brand.

truthfuly, Sony is  as big as Microsoft and that even Includes Nintendo. why because the Brand power of Microsoft include's the Windows OS. not because of PS3 vs the xbox360.

brand power is what your company is known for.

it's not just one part it's the company as a whole.

so Microsoft has alway's been = to sony for brand power, but on the same token it's never going to be greater than also because all three companies are too well entrenched to stay , none of them are getting out of the industry so it's pretty moot.

what is basic at root here is what is the strength of that brabd power by opinion by opinion basis. which is once again subjective.
