Uh.. the US is not the PS3's worst region. Japan is the PS3's worst region. And the 3DS was getting shit on just like the PS3 was. Seems silly to say sales matter when disqualifying the 3DS but then at the same time sales can't matter when PS3 is involved because it's still in last place. |
1. It's quite obvious PS3 won't remain 3rd.
2. I mean marketshare wise. Europe it's going to be first. Japan it's been second for awhile. US it'll remain 3rd and has always sold the worst compared to its competitors. Of course Japan isn't going to compete on raw numbers their population could never match.
3. How was 3DS didn't get nearly the hate PS3 did and wasn't late to the party to complicate its problem. The competition hadn't even announced their price and yet it was pretty obvious Nintendo was going to be the same price if not cheaper (certainly not $200 more). Also even if you want to say the level of hate was the same, for 3DS it was a period of a couple months at most while PS3 got shat on for at least a year at that rate before people started to change. If we're keeping with the comeback story PS3 is a fourth quarter comeback (when it happens) while 3DS is a favored team not getting as big a lead as they thought they would in the first before blowing the other team out.
4. I never said sales didn't matter but I'm not going to compare a country like Japan to a country like the US when it's pretty obvious it's impossible for PS3 to sell as much in Japan as it did in the US. Hell the PS3 in the US oustold the PS2 in Japan. I hope that puts into perspective how ridiculous it is to compare those 2 regions on raw numbers and not market share.
