PS3 is truly dominating this week. Of course people will ignore this and say "poor sales for everything". You know who you are :)

Hopefully the PS3 can keep it up and stay at #1.

I don't know how being 7k ahead of the next console (handheld) is "truly dominating" but ok...I'd say PC dominated this week. More software for one game than all other gaming systems all games combined :O

Handhelds always sell more than consoles. That is a fact.

This week we got the PS3 ON TOP of the 3DS.

PS3 is #1, it IS dominating considering its been on top of the 360 all year and now even overtook the 3DS.

Is it? No, it really isn't...

NDS - 151mil+
Wii -  96mil+

PSP - 74mil+
360 - 66mil+

Gameboy - 118mil+
SNES - 49mil+

Gameboy Advance - 81mil+
PS2 - 153mil+

All leading handheld devices have outsold the leading console in their generation. The only exception is the PS2 which sold almost double what the Gameboy Advance did.

What does the PSP have to do with this? 360 will surpass it easily. So will PS3. So that's a bad example. So what do we have here? PSP and Gameboy Advance already disprove your "rule". It's not a fact if it's not lol

The only reason I mentioned the PSP is because it sold so much. It is a second place handheld so it is not an exception to the rule. Read the bold statement I made. It is a fact.

In a sample size of 3 (PSP vs 360 is irrelevant given as you say neother it the leading platform) you are only 66% right. As statistical significance goes I don;t think the maths is on your side. Lets wait another 5 or 6 generations to see if a pattern really does emerge.

How come there's no PS1 vs handheld comparison? PS1 was the leading home console of its gen, what HH was it up against?
