Back to the OP, the Saturn launched before the PS1 look what happened there, same with the Dreamcast etc. Launching first doesn't mean you are going to win. It takes a number of factors, such as price, games and mass appeal. |
The Xbox 360 sold ~8 million within its first year.(Launch in late 2005 to end of 2006)
The PS3 has done an excellent job of brining the lead way down. If you align the launches, then the PS3 is the winner.(Anyone good with charts?)
That 3 mil goes down each and every year(except 2011 if you belive Microsoft over VgChartz)
That is mighty impressive for a console that infamously launched at $600.
