actually SNES did lose market share.  It sold less than NES and SEGA sold significantly more Genesis systems than it did Master systems (the one competing with NES).


I am talking about the same generation not total marketshare over two generations  . PS3 lost marketshare in the same gen it was 2008 I think and SNES never did that.

 

The guy I was quoting says the SNES comeback was more impressive. I say neither PS3 nor SNES made a comeback but for different reasons.

 

PS3 hasn't come back yet.

SNES was never in a situation to come back from, it gained steadily marketshare as far as I remember.

If there is a comeback candidate its PS3. Biggest drop of from predecessor marketshare. Highest losses over several years. Loss of already gained marketshare. 

 

SNES is by no metric in the running for biggest comeback even if PS3 falls short. Unless I see the numbers in what way SNES made a comeback  that eclipses what PS3 seems to do. I can't believe what he is saying .
