What is Market Domination?

Market domination, it must be enough to absolutely crush anything else. Owning around 70%-80% of the sales.

some examples.

*ITune vs Emusic (never heard of Emusic? Yeah, that's why)

*PS2 vs xbox/GC: 120 mil vs 20 million vs 20 million

Walmart vs Target (DVD sales only): Walmart sells over 70% of all DVDs in US

First of all the PS2 was in a generation against the Xbox and GC...not Xbox and N64.

 

Second off the #s would be 116.2m against 24.2m and 21.5m. Thus it would be 116.2m VS 45.7m with a total market of 161.9m. Which would mean the PS2 was only 71.77% of the market and by your definition the PS2 didn't dominate its generation barely dominated its generation.

So you don't think the PS2 dominated?

So you think the PS2 only just qualifies?

edit:

Also, you don't think the DS is dominating its market?

 

 

Read what you quoted, I CLEARLY stated it was GC, not N64. :P

 second of all, 71.77% lies within my "70-80%" of market penatration. especially when PS2 is STILL selling well while GC and xbox are long dead.

 As for DS, it's still too early to call, with PSP fighting back in areas such as Japan while DS's sales is slowing down considerably, I don't think it can make it to 70% to be classify as "domination"
