its more about brand, like the galaxy or iphone, you could release an upgrade every year and millions willl line up to buy every year, the playstaion brand its just huge force world wide, its always gonna be able to sell 80 million + units, the xbox brand has established itself in north america by basically making all the right moves to appeal to the core market, both of those consoles have a dedicated fans this gen, while sony lost a lot of fans to the xbox 360 by making horrible moves, ithey are making all the right moves now. though.

I agree that it's about brand, but brand image is very much the result of marketing; how you present your brand to the consumer.

 even microsoft was extremely fortunate with the 360 to be able to compete with sony at there own game, the price of the ps3 really is the only reason microsoft  even got close to sony,   another huge reason was the DS3 controller was a piece of crap compared to the 360 controller, 3 generations with the same controller, finally sony upgraded with the DS4, its take a bit of luck and a lot of mistakes from the competeion to get back in the race.

Nintendo and Microsoft's mistakes over the last year have handed Gen 8 to PS4 on a platter. Sony aren't the only ones who screw up.
