Sony domination began in December 3, 1994, when they launched the PXS in Japan. LOL

This is true...so...

Sony domination -

Dec 3, 1994 - Nov 22 2006

RIP!

Haha, I see what you did there ;)

But you're wrong, look at this data:

VGChartz Hardware data for the period 05th Jan 2008 to 08th Mar 2008:

Console	Wii	PS3	X360	PS2
Total	3,004,101	1,831,450	1,293,181	1,294,650

 

PS2+PS3 = 3,126,100

PlayStation consoles (PS2+PS3) > Wii > X360

or

Wii > PS3 > PS2 > 360

PS: it's really sad but the 360 can't even beat the PS2... lol

I couldn't care less where 360 is on that list... you don't expect PS2 to grow in sales do you? In any case Wii is and always will be uncatchable in any category, no matter how you want spin this. Profit, software sales, console sale...wii will be number 1. 

Even if PS3 catches up to 360 in some 2-3 years and sells some 60 million consoles to 360's 40 million lets say...its still the big loser of the generation. Microsoft would have doubled their userbase while sony lost half of it...

This will mean that when next gen starts, developers would not be so eager to grab their dev kits off the bat...exclusives will slip to other consoles...the domino effect. Its already happening...

 

 Nope, I expect the PS2 sales to drop but I also expect the PS3 sales to grow. But you right no other console will kick ass like the PS2 did last gen, not even the Wii will sell that much more than others. The PS2 managed a pretty amazing feat

Console	XB	GC	PS2
Total	24,189,847	21,515,085	107,787,221

 2.5 times more than GC and XB sales combined. That is amazing. 

 Anyway , the is doing very good. It managed to sell the LTD of the GC in a little over a year. The X360 on the other hand is doing pretty bad, it's going to take 3 years to actually sell the LTD sales of the original XB, so only about 25% (1 year) faster.
