Is this really cause for celebration? It's like celebrating the 360's 100% marketshare in 2005. Sony is like that person who stays at the party after everyone else has left, insisting that the party's not over yet, unable to take a hint that it's time to go, and reveling in finally being "the life of the party."


That makes about as much sense as saying that a films total gross doesn't matter, and only the first weekend is an indication of how strong it performs. 


Looking at "Total gross" would be looking at "total market share".

Really it's more like saying "picking a random weekend vs other movies well after the movies came out and the movies are in dollar theatres is meanginless."

 


I see where you're coming from but considering both PS3 and Xbox are still selling huge numbers each year they are far from the dollar theaters. Their sales still matter this year, and will matter next year, and probably the year after that. Even if one of the two does release another console. 

Dollar movie theatres was supposed to reflect the lack of revenue, not sales.   Thoug saying both are still selling huge numbers is still a stretch as the PS3 at the highest marketshare will still have sold less then it ever has in a year.

 

The whole thing reminds me of those "Fake records" sports teams will come up with to try and excite there fans even though most people don't care.
