Does that mean the PS2 was a fad, because its successor fared worse?? |
The PS2's marketshare was cut in half by Microsoft with the Xbox 360. The years head start and third party exodus served Microsoft well. Between the PS3 and 360 they essentially have the PS2's sales. They are more stable to the market because they attract actual gamers outside of their core audience. Their audience was sustainable, just dragged along in a tug of war between the two companies. Nintendo is another story...the market is going to shrink considerable because of Nintendo creating a market that doesn't actually care for gaming.
