This thread is hilarious. Does the OP not understand why the playstation has been, and will continue to be the most dominant console brand in gaming history. Its all about market share (sony competes and wins the majority of the 3 markets microsoft cannot), and longevity we all know after the 3 year mark microsoft sputters out whereas sony continues to roll out titles, and support their system 7-10 yrs on average.


Sony has literally said that their big studios have moved to only the PS4. PS3 will not have support from them.


Perhaps you minsunderstood what i was saying im referring to the average console life/support for sony vs microsoft historically.  Not how many years after the console cycle is over, and as such thus far its been 7-10 years for sony vs 3-5 years for microsoft on average.

Well if you want to nit pick about things than Technically Microsoft didn't stop supporting Xbox 1 until 2010 when Xbox Live supported ended for the console, the last game for Xbox 1 was also sent out in 2009. This would indicate to me that Microsoft DID infact support Xbox 1 for 9 years and Xbox 360 is still going. 

Hate to burst that little bubble there. 

How about we take alook at this from any approach you want and the answer will be the same. Nintendo and Microsoft went from 20 - 25 million lifetime sales to 100 million and 80 million plus, whilst Sony crashed and burned turning an incredible market share into equal and lesser marketshare with its two competitors. 

What happens next gen no one will know, however, logic is fairly simple and 100% available for anyone to see.
