When MS has a console that dominated the previous gen and then wound up in 3rd 2nd place the next gen, that would be a logical comparison.

Fixed that for you. 

So, If MS ends up in 3rd next gen, but maybe one year finishes 50% for a year, MS guys won't celebrate?  I bet they would.  And I would give congrats to MS, like I always do when they reach a milestone.  Too bad quite a few MS guys just can't bring themsleves to do the same for Sony.  Always downplaying any good news for them.  Ah well, I suppose if that is your prerogative.

What fix? Are you saying Sony hasn't been in 3rd place this entire gen?

Because it will wind up 2nd.

So? It's completely irrelevant at this point. 

No it isn't.  Maybe profit wise but a console with a lower install base (less people buying cause their friends have) and being more expensive this late in a console span means people recognize the value of free online and superior software.  It shows consumer satisfaction and confidence in the brand going into next gen.
