This is about taking 1st place in a market and therefore "Winning" that market.

You want congrats for being second?  When they have the biggest install base in a region I will be the first to congratulate them.  I predicted they would achieve this long before any sony fan here.  I'm consistent.

It's an exceptionally convenient stance to take that being first in any given region is worthy of praise while being second overall is not, but you're correct that you've been consistent with it.  

But it is the truth,  Being first mean something, being second I don't know...  They would not say we are the second best.. because that sound silly or we did better than X because that would sound arrogant..

Anyway it is not that big of deal,  software sales the X360 will surpass the DS or Wii anytime?

And that's the way you think about it, while I think where things rank up when the whole world is included is just as important as getting first in a single country.  Of course, that can be thought of as a very convenient stance as well, and I do find it striking how clear the line is between people on either side of this question and general feelings on the two platforms.  

Well yeah,  I already said it is not that big of deal, mostly because it is the UK.  USA is something different though, being first in the biggest entertainment producer/market means something. Being third, fourth or second doesn't mean much in retrospect. 

In the end people will know Wii was first and second and third place people will forget..
