| Sensei said: I agree. There was never a console that was so behind (both in sales and mindshare) that got to become 1st place after all that. 3DS does not count - it was not behind its competitors. Wii / Gamecube doesn't count either, they are different consoles, to count as a comeback it must have been the same failing console to turn its fortunes around, not a sucessor. |
Maybe I am missing something but the PS3 only had a bad mindshare in the US which shows because it still isn't selling better than the 360 now. It always outsold the 360 in Japan and in Europe it started slow but picked up pretty quick because MS did not really change people there outside of the UK. Pretty much the rest of Europe waited for the PS3 and bought it at its more expensive price because brand loyalty is very strong there.
The one thing that was holding the PS3 back was price. Once Sony was able to get the price down on the console they were able to sell it better than the 360 because of better brand loyalty and better first party games.
