It was a great comeback. But fact is, that slow start will affect Sony almost forever. Case in point, in the USA and UK Xbox is now the standard for gaming. Ms willmhave the best launch on those two territories.

Sony did great after such a weak start. Now they have to do better to be on par (saleswise) with MS.

Just like the PS2 was the standard the gen before?  Things change from gen to gen.  The only things that you can really count on is that the PS4 will take Japan and, most likely, EU overall.

The gen isn't completely over.  Wii is crawling, while the PS3 is still selling quite well.  In the end, the PS3 may take 1st.  If not, it will come in at an extremely close 2nd.

@ OP

Yep, this is the first ever comeback in the history of gaming (console-wise).  When other systems have crashed and burned with so much against it, the PS3 survived.  I think this just shows how strong the PS brand truly is.  Not that they could survive this several times in a row, of course.  I think this only means good things for the performance of the PS4.
