When the PS3 launched they had everything against them and still managed to turn it around, now with the PS4 they have everything going for them there is almost no way for them not to do good this gen.

Even if PS4 is the fastest selling console in history, it doesn't make sense to ingore how financially unsuccessful the PS3 was and pretend it was a huge financial success because it sold 80 million. I can understand why the "journalist" do it though. Since It's mostly used in negative Nintendo articles, Nintendo fanboys will keep going back to the website to see if they put up more negative Nintendo articles. It's sort of like what YouTube trolls do to get views.

The only people who care about how "financially successful" a console is are stock holders and excuse makers. Everyone else cares about total units sold. Right or wrong, it's how this whole thing works.
What do you see on the front page of vgchartz? A graph showing which is making the most revenue? Or a graph showing which consoles sold the most units?

They have a graph showing hardware sales because It's a sales website.
|
....and because that's what people actually CARE about.
|
not only people, but game devs and publishers as they are the ones putting games on systems and care about how much consoles are actually out their and not how much money they make
|
Thats a bad joke right. Do you not see how many games now are either rooted in microtransactions, locked but on disc DLC, or just are unfinished profucts (Battlefield 4). The number of studios/companys out there that consistantly put out quality and only have a bad one now and then is tiny. Rockstar,Nintendo,Naughty Dog,Bethesda,2K, and even most of them have had their quality waver in recent years. Money is everything...the end.

youve literally missed my entire point and what you said had nothing to do with what im saying. The more a console sells, more the support it will get, period. Whether that be SOny and they loose money on every console sold or whatever is not relevant as it does not effect the support it gets, which as gamers i would have thought that was the most important thing. Your statement is best saved for another subject entirely.
