@Kowenicki -> X360 was out a year before the PS3, at a cheaper price (and is still cheaper) and had a lot of games that were PS exclusives last gen (so people didn't see why they should wait for/buy the PS3) and yet the PS3 is catching up. For you this is not impressive right? You might have a problem.

And why do you talk about the Wii... he was talking about the PS3 and the X360. (because only those two should be compared, Wii is on another level on several things, the graphics, the gameplay (I mean core gameplay, not add-ons such as Move and Kinect), the install base and gamers aimed etc.

I'm talking relative expectations... it is easy to understand if you think really really hard.

what did you expect before the gen started...? (rhetorical question... but if you are honest with yourself.. you didnt expect this and neither did sony)

And why cant we compare the wii?  the PS2 wasnt the most powerful last gen either.. should we have ignored that too?

For what I read you're one thinking too hard, so hard you won't accept any critics...

Well, was the difference between Xbox, GC and PS2 as big as the difference between X360, PS3 and Wii? Seriously?

About what did I expect before the gen started I don't know, I was not so much into console sales before 2008 (and in case you don't believe me, this is on my profile : "Joined on April 19th 2009" this is when i really started checking sales every week). The only thing I knew about the 6th Gen is that the PS2 was the best selling console, and that the Wii was powning everyone for the 7th and that's all.

And to be honest when the PS3 launch price was announced, I knew that it'll be a huge problem so I was not so disappointed by what happened. Eventhough I thought it would sell more.
