Have we seen the best of Playstation as a brand?

I've said this many times; from roughly 96 to 06 the playstation didn't have much competition, sega insisted on shooting their own foot and nintendo never gained the momentum they had with the SNES.

But at this point the market is saturated with 3 strong brands. And amidst that competition the PS3 has been gaining market share quite rapidly in the last few years.

Your conclusion is actually irrelevant to your graf. The shipments are falling but the brand is recovering from the disastrous ps3 phat era.

 

The console market was much smaller before.  PS1 gen only like 150 million consoles were sold, and PS2 gen only like 200 million consoles were sold, now we're pushing 300+ easily.  There is a lot more room for competition, it's not really surprising that this happened.  This is the first time Sony had overlapping handhelds too, which should have helped but it hasn't.
